The text has been revised to incorporate new developments in lasers and quantum electronics. Other subjects covered include phase-conjugate optics, long wavelength quaternary semiconductor lasers, the physics of semiconductor lasers, laser arrays and free-electron lasers.
This book has 40 chapters and is divided into 10 sections. The first section which is about Multi-beam Satellite Systems deals with; Symbol vs block level precoding in multi-beam satellite systems; Hardware Demonstration of Precoded Communications in Multi-Beam UHTS; On the capa…
In this 5th Edition, the author continues to evaluate various novel techniques and design methods for the modulation and transmission of digital data, allowing the readers to gain a firm understanding of the processes needed to effectively design wireless data link communication…
This tutorial introduces the theory and applications of MTF, used to specify the image quality achieved by an imaging system. It covers basic linear systems theory and the relationship between impulse response, resolution, MTF, OTF, PTF, and CTF. Practical measurement and testin…
Die Studie entfaltet den Begriff eines musikalischen Denkens in Kunst, Philosophie und Theater.Wie konnte der musiktheoretische Begriff der Polyphonie zum treibenden Element in der Ästhetik des Malers Paul Klee werden? Wie haben Musikinstrumente wie der Synthesizer die Philosoph…
Across their life cycles, animals must make constant adjustments in physiology and behavior to meet predictable life-history demands while also accommodating unpredictable perturbations that affect individual survivorship. However, our ability to predict the behavioral and physi…
Top-Down Design of High-Performance Sigma-Delta Modulators discusses architectural and circuit considerations for optimizing the design of oversampled A/D interfaces for mixed-signal CMOS ASICs. The necessary mathematical background is presented in a detailed and comprehensive s…
Introduction to Sensors for ranging and imaging
"This comprehensive text-reference provides a solid background in active sensing technology. It is concerned with active sensing, starting with the basics of time-of-flight sensors (operational principles, components), and going through the derivation of the radar range equation…
