Praise for the Series "This book will be a useful reference to control engineers and researchers. The papers contained cover well the recent advances in the field of modern control theory." --IEEE Group Correspondence "This book will help all those researchers who valiantly try to keep abreast of what is new in the theory and practice of optimal control." --Control

The scarcity of radio spectrum is one of the most urgent issues at the forefront of future network research that is yet to be addressed. To address the problem of spectrum usage efficiency, the cognitive radio (CR) concept was proposed. The challenges of employing CRs include ensuring secure device operations and data transmission with advanced computing techniques. Successful development of CR systems will involve attainment of the following key objectives: Increasing the rate and capacity of...

Providing a wealth of information on fundamental topics in the areas of linear air and underwater acoustics, as well as space-time signal processing, this book provides real-world design and analysis equations. As a consequence of the interdisciplinary nature of air and underwater acoustics, the book is divided into two parts: Acoustic Field Theory and Space-Time Signal Processing. It covers the fundamentals of acoustic wave propagation as well as the fundamentals of aperture theory, array theor...

Optimum and Adaptive Signal Processing has been developed in a simple, logical and directed way. The ease of understanding is facilitated by providing all the intermediate steps in a mathematical expression derivation and its physical meaning, preserving the rigour and depth of the subject. Chapters 2 to 5, covering the background, make the book self-contained. The detailed treatment of both optimum and adaptive processing (unlike in some of the other books), enables enhanced understanding. Also...

The benefits of an image management system are dependent on the ability to move the images among different workstations in a workflow process. Image communications as an area of research has evolved only the last few years, driven by the technological advances of the electronic imaging industry. This book examines in-depth the associated technologies and problems surrounding the transmission of image data in a wide range of applications.

This book concerns a new paradigm in the field of UHF RFID systems: the positive exploitation of nonlinear signals generated by the chips integrated into the RFID tags. After having recalled the main principles in RFID technology and its current challenges notably with the emergence of Internet of Things or the smart connected environments, the purpose is to focus on the presence of nonlinearities produced by the nonlinear circuits of RFID chips: effects, nuisances and solutions but also and es...

Mathematical morphology has developed a powerful methodology for segmenting images, based on connected filters and watersheds. We have chosen the abstract framework of node- or edge-weighted graphs for an extensive mathematical and algorithmic description of these tools. Volume 1 is devoted to watersheds. The topography of a graph appears by observing the evolution of a drop of water moving from node to node on a weighted graph, along flowing paths, until it reaches regional minima. The upstrea...

Learn about the latest developments in automotive Ethernet technology and implementation with this fully revised second edition. Including approximately twenty-five percent new material and greater technical detail, coverage is expanded to include: * Detailed explanations of how the 100BASE-T1 PHY and 1000 BASE-T1 PHY technologies actually work * A step-by-step description of how the 1000BASE-T1 channel was derived * A summary of the content and uses of the new TSN standards * A framework for se...

Intelligent Sensing and Communications for Internet of Everything introduces three application scenarios of enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), large-scale machine connection (mMTC) and ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC). A new communication model, namely backscatter communication (BackCom), intelligent reflector surface (IRS) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology in Internet of Everything (IoE), is described in detail. Also focusing on millimeter wave, the book discusses the...

This collection of exercises and problems corrected, of progressive difficulty, is mainly intended for students of bachelor, master and doctoral students of universities as well as engineering students. Applications include temperature measurements using intrinsic thermocouples and metallic resistors and subjected to various external stresses. The main objective of this book is to provide students with tools for solving metrological problems that all scientists and engineers will be confronted w...

With special relation to smart grids, this book provides clear and comprehensive explanation of how Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques can be applied to solve problems in the power system. Its unique coverage bridges the gap between DSP, electrical power and energy engineering systems, showing many different techniques applied to typical and expected system conditions with practical power system examples. Surveying all recent advances on DSP for power...
