The new digital radio system DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting, nowadays often called
Digital Radio) is a very innovative and universal multimedia broadcast system which will
replace the existing AM and FM audio broadcast services in many parts of the world in
the future. It was developed in the 1990s ...
Over the past ten years there has been a revolution in the devel-
opment and acceptance of mobile products. In that period, cel-
lular telephony and consumer electronics have moved from the
realm of science fiction to everyday reality. Much of that revolu-
tion is unremarkable – we use wireless, in ...
During the past decade, many wireless communication techniques have been
developedto achievevariousgoals suchas higherdata rate,morerobustlink quality,
and higher number of users in a given bandwidth. For wireless communication

Communication, a word that many associate with modern technology, actually
has nothing to do with technology. At its core, communication involves nothing
more than the spoken or written word, and symbolic languages like art and music.
Technology has become synonymous with communication because techn ...
Complex networks are powerful allies of our quest to tackle complexity in all
of science. Many lines can be written about the benefits of using networks to
study complex systems. Nevertheless, if I had to name their single most appealing
property,Iwouldsaysimplicity.Onecanmaptheinteractingelementsof ...
Radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers are used in everyday life for many applica-
tions including cellular phones, magnetic resonance imaging, semiconductor wafer
processing for chip manufacturing, etc. Therefore, the design and performance of
RF amplifiers carry great importance for the proper func ...
