This book is the outcome of the panel discussions held on the special event honor-
ing first 50 PhD students of Prof. Ramjee Prasad. Several of his PhD students are
today worldwide telecommunication leaders themselves. Over 60 post-docs, PhDs,
colleagues and the scientific staff were present at the ...
One of the very first books published on the social impact of the mobile phone
was Timo Kopomaa’s The City in Your Pocket: Birth of the Mobile Information Society.
The book, published in 2000, was based on research that Kopomaa had under-
taken for Nokia and Sonera as part of his doctoral studies i ...
his research aims at creating broadband tunable, fully integrated filters for the application of
cognitive radio and signal classification receivers. The approach under study is the N-path filter
technique which is capable of translating a baseband impedance to a reference frequency creating
a tunab ...
An understanding of the policies, regulations, standards and techniques of radio spectrum
management is useful to those who manage and administrate it, to operators, to equipment
providers and to the users of wireless communication (i.e., all of us). For many years the author
has been deeply involve ...
T
his book covers basic communications theory and practical imple-
mentation of transmitters and receivers. In so doing, I focus on dig-
ital modulation, demodulation methods, probabilities, detection of
digital signals, and spread spectrum system design and analysis. This book
was written for those ...

HIS IS THE THIRD —and most likely the last—book
in the series on information technology for
energy managers and web based energy infor-
mation and control systems. This book concentrates on
web based enterprise energy and building automation
systems, and serves as a capstone volume in this series. ...
Of the various applications that satellites have been used for, one of
the most promising is that of global positioning. Made possible by
Global Navigation Satellite Systems, global positioning enables any
user to know his or her exact position on Earth. Nowadays, the only
fully functioning system i ...
It all started rather innocuously. I walked into Dr GT Murthy’s office one fine day, andchanged my life. “Doc” was then the General Manager, Central R&D, of a very largeelectrical company headquartered in Bombay. In his new state-of-the-art electronics center,he had hand-picked some of India’s b ...
