As the demand for higher bandwidth has lead to the development of increasingly complex wireless technologies, an understanding of both wireless networking technologies and radio frequency (RF) principles is essential for implementing high performance and cost effective wireless networks.
Models for the mechanical behavior of porous media introduced more than 50 years ago are still relied upon today, but more recent work shows that, in some cases, they may violate the laws of thermodynamics. In The Thermophysics of Porous Media, the author shows that physical consistency requires a unique description of dynamic processes that...
The Essence of Dielectric Waveguides provides an overview of the fundamental behavior of guided waves, essential to finding and interpreting the results of electromagnetic waveguide problems. Clearly and concisely written as well as brilliantly organized, this volume includes a detailed description of the fundamentals of electromagnetics, as...
The subject of interference in communications systems is as old as communications itself. Agamemnon, the King of Mycenes, who captured Troy more than 800 miles away, to get back his niece, the beautiful Eleni, and wanted to notify his wife Clytaemistra about this happy event, used the most sophisticated communication techniques of that time to...
Uncertainty is an inherent feature of both properties of physical systems and the inputs to these systems that needs to be quantified for cost effective and reliable designs. The states of these systems satisfy equations with random entries, referred to as stochastic equations, so that they are random functions of time and/or space. The...
Learn about the revolutionary new technology of negative-refraction metamaterials
Negative-Refraction Metamaterials: Fundamental Principles and Applications introduces artificial materials that support the unusual electromagnetic property of negative refraction. Readers will discover several classes of negative-refraction materials along with...
This book presents MOSFET-based current mode logic (CML) topologies, which increase the speed, and lower the transistor count, supply voltage and power consumption. The improved topologies modify the conventional PDN, load, and the current source sections of the basic CML gates.
The physical linkages responsible for carrying a company's data continue to be the most neglected components of the typical network—to the extent that nearly 700f all network-related problems result from poor cabling.
In this third edition of a widely acclaimed resource, three networking experts...
This invaluable textbook serves two purposes. The first is to introduce some traditional topics such as matrix formalism of geometrical optics, wave propagation and diffraction, and some fundamental background on fourier optics. The second is to present the essentials of acousto-optics and electro-optics, and provide the students with...
Step-by-step tutorial to master current design techniques for wireless communication systems
The Third Edition of Radio System Design for Telecommunications brings this highly acclaimed book fully up to date with the latest technological advances and new applications. At the same time, the hallmarks of the previous...
This book is about constraint programming, an alternative approach to programming which relies on a combination of techniques that deal with reasoning and computing. It has been successfully applied in a number of fields including molecular biology, electrical engineering, operations research and numerical analysis. The central notion is that...
