Wireless metropolitan area networks (WirelessMANs) is emerging as a promising
broadband wireless access (BWA) technology to provide high-speed, high bandwidth
efficiency and high-capacity multimedia services for residential as well as enterprise
applications. It is observed that WirelessMAN (e.g., W ...
The family of recent wireless standards included the optional employment of Multiple-Input
Multiple-Output(MIMO)techniques.This was motivatedby the observationaccordingto the
classic Shannon–Hartley law that the achievable channel capacity increases logarithmically
with the transmit power. In contr ...
The serious study of the practice of how to determine the appropriate content of a
specification is a seldom-appreciated pastime. Those who have the responsibility to
design a product would prefer a greater degree of freedom than permitted by the con-
tent of a specification. Many of those who would ...
Wireless communications has become a field of enormous scientific and economic interest. Recent
success stories include 2G and 3G cellular voice and data services (e.g., GSM and UMTS), wireless
local area networks (WiFi/IEEE 802.11x), wireless broadband access (WiMAX/IEEE 802.16x), and
digital broad ...
This paper reviews key factors to practical ESD
protection design for RF and analog/mixed-signal (AMS) ICs,
including general challenges emerging, ESD-RFIC interactions,
RF ESD design optimization and prediction, RF ESD design
characterization, ESD-RFIC co-design technique, etc. Practical
design exa ...
The first edition of the book was one of the elements of my habilitation (a quali-
fication above a Ph.D., which is a necessary step for obtaining the title of a
professor in Poland and other European countries), and as a result it was subse-
quently very carefully reviewed by four reviewers. The ha ...
Battery systems for energy storage are among the most relevant technologies of the
21 st century. They – in particular modern lithium-ion batteries (LIB) – are enablers
for the market success of electric vehicles (EV) as well as for stationary energy
storage solutions for balancing fluctuations in ...
We are very pleased to introduce the proceedings of the First EAI International
Conference on Smart Grid Inspired Future Technologies (SmartGIFT 2016). This was
the first SmartGIFT conference, aiming to create a forum for researches, developers,
and practitioners from both academia and industry to p ...
n present power system, the engineers face variety of challenges in
planning, construction and operation. In some of the problems, the engineers need
to use managerial talents. In system design or upgrading the entire system into
automatic control instead of slow response of human operator, the engi ...
Design for manufacturability and statistical design encompass a number
of activities and areas of study spanning the integrated circuit design and
manufacturing worlds. In the early days of the planar integrated circuit, it was
typical for a handful of practitioners working on a particular design to ...
