Driven by the desire to boost the quality of service of wireless systems closer to that afforded
by wireline systems, space-time processing for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
wireless communications research has drawn remarkable interest in recent years. Excit-
ing theoretical advances, compl ...
Spread-spectrum communication is a core area within the field of digital
communication. Originally used in military networks as countermeasures against
the threats of jamming and interception, spread-spectrum systems are now widely
used in commercial applications and are part of several wireless and ...
In this book we focus on the basic signal processing that underlies current and
future ultra wideband systems. By looking at signal processing in this way we
hope this text will be useful even as UWB applications mature and change or
regulations regarding ultra wideband systems are modified. The cur ...
It has been over a decade since the Chinese publication of Line Loss in Electric Power Systems. To keep pace
with technological developments, I started a revision as early as 2002, following the main principles that the
theoretical framework and characteristics of the first edition should be retaine ...
For many years prior to the 1970s, engineers designed and built switch mode
power supplies (SMPSs) using methods based largely on intuitive and exper-
imentally derived techniques. In general, these power supplies were able to
achieve their primary goal of high-efficiency power conversion; unfortu-
...
The basic topic of this book is solving problems from system and control theory using
convex optimization. We show that a wide variety of problems arising in system
and control theory can be reduced to a handful of standard convex and quasiconvex
optimization problems that involve matrix inequalitie ...
Computer science as an academic discipline began in the 1960’s. Emphasis was on
programming languages, compilers, operating systems, and the mathematical theory that
supported these areas. Courses in theoretical computer science covered finite automata,
regular expressions, context-free languages, ...
This book is a general introduction to machine learning that can serve as a reference
book for researchers and a textbook for students. It covers fundamental modern
topics in machine learning while providing the theoretical basis and conceptual tools
needed for the discussion and justification of al ...
This paper presents a new type of electromagnetic damper with rotating inertial mass that has been devel
oped to control the vibrations of structures subjected to earthquakes. The electromagnetic inertial mass
damper (EIMD) consists of a ball screw that converts axial oscillation of the rod ...
