Control of Noise and Structural Vibration presents a MATLAB®-based approach to solving the problems of undesirable noise generation and transmission by structures and of undesirable vibration within structures in response to environmental or operational forces. The fundamentals of acoustics, vibration and coupling between vibrating...
This is a modern textbook on digital communications and is designed for senior undergraduate and graduate students, whilst also providing a valuable reference for those working in the telecommunications industry. It provides a simple and thorough access to a wide range of topics through use of figures, tables, examples and problem...
Ultrashort pulses in mode-locked lasers are receiving focused attention from researchers looking to apply them in a variety of fields, from optical clock technology to measurements of the fundamental constants of nature and ultrahigh-speed optical communications. Ultrashort pulses are especially important for the next generation of...
Adaptive Control (second edition) shows how a desired level of system performance can be maintained automatically and in real time, even when process or disturbance parameters are unknown and variable. It is a coherent exposition of the many aspects of this field, setting out the problems to be addressed and moving on to solutions, their...
Everyone wants privacy and security online, something that most computer users have more or less given up on as far as their personal data is concerned. There is no shortage of good encryption software, and no shortage of books, articles and essays that purport to be about how to use it. Yet there is precious little for ordinary users who...
Telecommunications is an old and stable technology if you think only of telephones and telegraph. But in the 1960s came computers and the processing of data. Soon, we needed data communications to transmit data to remote PCs connected by networks. Later, these points of communications increased in number, with the transmission being no longer...
In a broad sense, speech dynamics are time-varying or temporal characteristics in all stages
of the human speech communication process. This process, sometimes referred to as speech
chain [1], starts with the formation of a linguistic message in the speaker’s brain and ends with
the arrival of the message in the...
Trying to find the perfect networking resource or textbook can be a real challenge.
Sometimes they are extremely focused on one technology, and thus miss the mark. Or
they are extremely broad, covering every networking idea known to man. This book is
about something that all networks have in common—the core protocols. Networks...
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...
This new edition includes approximately 30% new materials covering the following information that has been added to this important work:
- extends the contents on Li-ion batteries detailing the positive and negative electrodes and characteristics and other components including binder, electrolyte, separator and foils, and the...
