This book contains a selection of tutorials on hot topics in information technology, which were presented at the IFIP 18th World Computer Congress. WCC2004 took place at the Centre de Congrès Pierre Baudis, in Toulouse, France, from 22 to 27 August 2004.
The 11 chapters included in the book were chosen from...
Formula One racing is the pinnacle of motor racing around the world. These days, the sport is a truly global circus. At almost every race on the calendar, more than 120,000 spectators cram into the grandstands and spectator banking, all vying for a view of the millionaire superstar drivers. At the same time, in 150 countries worldwide, more than...
A comprehensive book on DWDM network design and implementation solutions
Design Software Included
* Study various optical communication principles as well as communication methodologies in an optical fiber * Design and evaluate optical components in a DWDM network * Learn about the effects of noise in signal...
Optimization of adaptive signal processing algorithms for wireless communications is based on a model of the underlying propagation channel. In practice, this model is never known perfectly. For example, its parameters have to be estimated and are only known with significant errors.
In this book, a systematic treatment of this practical design...
Provides a clearly written, real-world source of basic information and circuit designs for up-to-date analog/digital control system design techniques using microcontrollers!
Today's control system designers face an ever-increasing "need for speed" and accuracy in their system measurements and computations. New...
Intuitive Probability and Random Processes using MATLAB® is an introduction to probability and random processes that merges theory with practice. Based on the author’s belief that only "hands-on" experience with the material can promote intuitive understanding, the approach is to motivate the need...
For those who need to get to grips with digital audio and video systems, this book sheds light on the differences between audio interfaces and shows how to make devices 'talk to each other' in the digital domain despite their subtle differences.
The Digital Interface Handbook is a thoroughly detailed manual for those who need to get to...
The dramatic growth of the wireless communication industry has resulted in searches for new technologies to provide broader bandwidth per user channel, better quality, and new value-added services. Employing smart antennas presents an elegant and relatively economical way to improve the performance of wireless transmission.
Formerly used mainly by specialists in signal processing and numerical
analysis, MATLAB® in recent years has achieved widespread and enthusiastic
acceptance throughout the engineering community. Many engineering
schools now require a course based entirely or in part on MATLAB early in
the curriculum. MATLAB is programmable and has...
In the past two decades, CMOS technology has rapidly embraced the field of analog inte-
grated circuits, providing low-cost, high-performance solutions and rising to dominate the
market. While silicon bipolar and III-V devices still find niche applications, only CMOS
processes have emerged as a viable choice for the integration of...
The availability of increased computational power and the proliferation of the Internet
have facilitated the production and distribution of unauthorized copies of
multimedia information. As a result, the problem of copyright protection has attracted
the interest of the worldwide scientific and business communities. The most...
