Building on Smart Cities Skills and Competences (Internet of Things)
This book provides insights on skills required to achieve success in smart cities from a variety of industry and human factors perspectives. It emphasizes the balance between learning skills, technical skills, and domain-specific skills in these industries, with special emphasis given to innovative software development models. The authors note that digital transformation requires complementary measures that are not overtly aimed to support infrastructure investment but are instead directed at pr...
Monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) are used in a host of electronics from cellular phones and global positioning systems to missile systems and radar. They are prized for their high performance and reliability, but they can be costly and highly difficult to produce. Proper design is the key to minimizing these problems. This practical resource is filled with real-world design techniques and rules of thumb that engineers can use on the job everyday to decrease costs and improve prod...
Produced by the York Electronics Centre, University of York, England, for the IEE, this course consists of 13 videos in five modules (total running time approximately 11 hours) with accompanying course notes. It is intended to be a stand-alone training aid to be used either as an individual teaching package or with tutored video instruction. Recently enhanced and updated to reflect the changes in the EC Directive and European Standards since 1992, this course identifies the range of disciplines...
Algebraic Identification and Estimation Methods in Feedback Control Systems presents a model-based algebraic approach to online parameter and state estimation in uncertain dynamic feedback control systems. This approach evades the mathematical intricacies of the traditional stochastic approach, proposing a direct model-based scheme with several easy-to-implement computational advantages. The approach can be used with continuous and discrete, linear and nonlinear, mono-variable and multi-variable...

IQ Calibration Techniques for Cmos Radio Transceivers (Analog Circuits and Signal Processing)
by Sao-Jie Chen and Yong-Hsiang Hsieh
The 802.11n wireless standard uses 64-state quadrature amplitude modulation (64-QAM) to achieve higher spectral efficiency. Consequently, the transmitter and receiver require a higher signal to noise ratio with the same level of error rate performance. This book offers a fully-analog compensation technique without baseband circuitry to control the calibration process. Using an 802.11g transceiver design as an example, it describes in detail an auto-calibration mechanism for I/Q gains and phases...
A compilation of the latest advances in the field of higher order statistical signal processing as recorded at the 1992 special international conference. Provides a solid foundation and key concepts underlying the applications of higher order statistical processing and illustrates how it can be used to solve practical problems in engineering and applied science.
Multi-point Cooperative Communication Systems: Theory and Applications (Signals and Communication Technology)
by Ming Ding and Hanwen Luo
Multi-point Cooperative Communication Systems: Theory and Applications mainly discusses multi-point cooperative communication technologies which are used to overcome the long-standing problem of limited transmission rate caused by the inter-point interference. Instead of combating the interference, recent progress in both academia and industrial standardizations has evolved to adopt the philosophy of “exploiting” the interference to improve the transmission rate by cooperating among multiple poi...
Source-matched Mobile Communications
by W. C. Wong, etc., and C.E.W. Sundberg
This book brings you a new approach to designing efficient and robust mobile radio communications links. After introducing the basic concepts of cellular radio and radio links, "Source-Matched Mobile Communications" details the effect of transmission errors on link performance for pulse code modulation (PCM). It describes the interaction between speech coding, channel coding, and modulation for mobile radio links. You'll also find thorough treatment of performance for binary and quadrature ampli...
Optical Solitons in Fibers (Springer Series in Photonics, #9)
by Akira Hasegawa and M. Matsumoto
Authored by internationally recognized experts on optical solitons, this book addresses the forefront of technology in the important field of optical communications. It deals with topics from the motion of light waves in optical fibres to the evolution of light wavepackets, and other applications.
Recent Development in Wireless Sensor and Ad-hoc Networks (Signals and Communication Technology)
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of numerous physically distributed autonomous devices used for sensing and monitoring the physical and/or environmental conditions. A WSN uses a gateway that provides wireless connectivity to the wired world as well as distributed networks. There are many open problems related to Ad-Hoc networks and its applications. Looking at the expansion of the cellular infrastructure, Ad-Hoc network may be acting as the basis of the 4th generation wireless technology w...
Dieses Handbuch adressiert haufig anzutreffende Defizite und Probleme bei der Digitalisierung der Automobilindustrie und entwickelt einen methodisch fundierten und praxiserprobten Leitfaden zur agilen Umsetzung. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Wandel vom fahrzeugfokussierten hin zu einem mobilitatsorientierten Geschaftsmodell. Ausgehend von den Treibern des digitalen Wandels werden vier Digitalisierungsfelder definiert und eine Roadmap zu deren Transformation vorgestellt. Der Weg hin zur automatischen...
Provides a balance of traditional analog communications (amplitude and frequency modulation and their variations) and modern developments in data communications (networks, fiber optics, and personal communications systems). Material on antennas, transmission lines, and propagation is also included. Flexible format allows instructors to choose sequence of topics. Examples use actual equipment, complete with photographs and manufacturers' specifications wherever possible. Sections on test equipmen...
