Homogeneous Partitioning of the Surveillance Volume discusses the
implementation of the first of three sequentially complementary approaches for
increasing the probability of target detection within at least some of the cells of
the surveillance volume for a spatially nonGaussian or Gaussian “noise ...
The capability of radio waves to provide almost instantaneous distant communications
without interconnecting wires was a major factor in the explosive growth of communica-
tions during the 20th century. With the dawn of the 21st century, the future for communi-
cations systems seems limitless. The i ...
This research work aims at eliminating the off-chip RF SAW filters from fre-
quency division duplexed (FDD) receivers. In the first approach, a monolithic passive
RF filter was constructed using on-chip capacitors and bondwire inductors. The bond-
wire characteristics were studied in details and the ...
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 ...
Since the advent of optical communications, a great technological effort has
been devoted to the exploitation of the huge bandwidth of optical fibers. Start-
ing from a few Mb/s single channel systems, a fast and constant technological
development has led to the actual 10 Gb/s per channel dense wave ...
A wireless communication network can be viewed as a collection of nodes, located in some domain, which
can in turn be transmitters or receivers (depending on the network considered, nodes may be mobile users,
base stations in a cellular network, access points of a WiFi mesh etc.). At a given time, s ...
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 ...
Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) refers to a multiplexing and transmission
scheme in optical telecommunications fibers where different wavelengths, typically
emitted by several lasers, are modulated independently (i.e., they carry independent
information from the transmitters to the receivers) ...
The purpose of this book is to present detailed fundamental information on a
global positioning system (GPS) receiver. Although GPS receivers are popu-
larly used in every-day life, their operation principles cannot be easily found
in one book. Most other types of receivers process the input signals ...
