for three decades due to the availability of powerful computer resources. In spite of
this, the EM community has suffered without a suitable text on the computational
techniques commonly used in solving EM-related problems. Althou ...
The focus of this book is on developing computational algorithms for transmit wave-
form design in active sensing applications, such as radar, sonar, communications and
medical imaging. Waveforms are designed to achieve certain desired properties, which
are divided into three categories correspondin ...
During the past three decades, the world has seen signifi cant changes in the telecom-
munications industry. There has been rapid growth in wireless communications, as
seen by large expansion in mobile systems. Wireless communications have moved
from fi rst-generation (1G) systems primarily focused ...

For more than three decades, Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) have
steadily transitioned out of research labs and into production forming a more than $10 billion
market [1]. MEMS devices such as accelerometers, pressure sensors and microphones, to name
a few, have seen immense utilization, pa ...
Since the 1990s the EU has been pursuing climate change mitigation targets. Following the
international commitment to the legally binding greenhouse gas reduction under the Kyoto
Protocol, the 2020 policy package consists of a set of binding legislation to ensure that the EU
meets its climate and en ...
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. ...
We are in the era of ubiquitous computing in which the use and development of Radio Frequency Iden-
tification (RFID) is becoming more widespread. RFID systems have three main components: readers,
tags, and database. An RFID tag is composed of a small microchip, limited logical functionality, and an ...
In this new edition of the book, only minor changes were made to the original
nine chapters but three new chapters treat topics of increasing interest to GPS
users and equipment developers. One topic, improving the GPS receiver sensi-
tivity may extend their operations into buildings, which is becom ...
A kinematically redundant manipulator is a serial robotic arm that has more
independently driven joints than are necessary to define the desired pose (position
and orientation) of its end-effector. With this definition, any planar manipulator (a
manipulator whose end-effector motion is restrained in ...
