n the first part of this book, we give an introduction to the basic applications of wireless com-
munications, as well as the technical problems inherent in this communication paradigm. After a
brief history of wireless, Chapter 1 describes the different types of wireless services, and works
out the ...
The challenges associated with the design and implementation of Electro-
static Discharge (ESD) protection circuits become increasingly complex as
technology is scaled well into nano-metric regime. One must understand the
behavior of semiconductor devices under very high current densities, high
temp ...
LIKE SO MANY OTHERS , THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN BECAUSE WE COULDN ’ T FIND ONE LIKE IT . We
needed something to hand to all of those people who have come to us asking for “a good
book to read on RFID.” When we looked for candidates we found some great books, but
most were aimed at electrical engineer ...
To a quantum mechanic the whole universe is one godawful big interacting wavefunction ?
but to the rest of us, it’s a world full of separate and distinguishable objects that hurt us
when we kick them. At a few months of age, human children recognize objects, expect
them to be permanent and move con ...
If one examines the current literature on GPS receiver design, most of it is quite a
bit above the level of the novice. It is taken for granted that the reader is already at a
fairly high level of understanding and proceeds from there. This text will be an
attempt to take the reader through the conc ...
Signals convey information. Systems transform signals. This book introduces the mathe-
matical models used to design and understand both. It is intended for students interested
in developing a deep understanding of how to digitally create and manipulate signals to
measure and control the physical wo ...
PrefaceDuring the past years, there has been a quickly rising interest in radio access technologies for providingmobile as well as nomadic and fixed services for voice, video, and data. The difference indesign, implementation, and use between telecom and datacom technologies is also becoming moreblu ...
Simulation can provide a lot of information about what the system is doing. We canadd the effect of different element, like Encoder resolution, ADC sampling rate, etc and understand how does it affect the system. Another benefit is the possibility to slow down the process, to gain insight on what ha ...
