Jouko Vankka, "Digital Synthesizers and Transmitters for Software Radio"
Springer | ISBN 1402031947 | 2005 Year | PDF | 12 Mb | 359 Pages
The approach adopted in Digital Synthesizers and Transmitters for Software
Radio will provide an understanding of key areas in the field of digital
synthesizers and transmitters. It is easy to include different digital
techniques in the digital synthesizers and transmitters by using digital signal
processing methods, because the signal is in digital form. By programming the
digital synthesizers and transmitters, adaptive channel bandwidths, modulation
formats, frequency hopping and data rates are easily achieved. Techniques such
as digital predistortion for power amplifier linearization, digital compensation
methods for analog I/Q modulator nonlinearities and digital power control and
ramping are presented in this book. The flexibility of the digital synthesizers
and transmitters makes them ideal as signal generators for software radio.
Software radios represent a major change in the design paradigm for radios in
which a large portion of the functionality is implemented through programmable
signal processing devices, giving the radio the ability to change its operating
parameters to accommodate new features and capabilities. A software radio
approach reduces the content of radio frequency (RF) and other analog components
of traditional radios and emphasizes digital signal processing to enhance
overall transmitter flexibility. Software radios are emerging in commercial and
military infrastructure.

035)"
Que | ISBN 0789728613 | 2003 Year | PDF | 0,82 Mb | 416 Pages
This exam measures the ability to design, write, and understand programs
written in language version 1.4 of the Java 2 Platform. The programmer's exam
concentrates on the language basics. This book is not intended to teach new
material. Instead it assumes that you have a solid foundation of knowledge but
can use a refresher on important concepts as well as a guide to exam topics and
objectives. This book focuses exactly on what you need to pass the exam - it
features test-taking strategies, time-saving study tips, and a special Cram
Sheet that includes tips, acronyms, and memory joggers not available anywhere
else. The series is supported online at several Web sites: examcram.com,
informit.com, and cramsession.com.
The accompanying CD features PrepLogic Practice Tests, Preview Edition. This
product includes one complete PrepLogic Practice Test with approximately the
same number of questions found on the actual vendor exam. Each question contains
full, detailed explanations of the correct and incorrect answers. The engine
offers two study modes, Practice Test and Flash Review, full exam customization,
and a detailed score report.
Wulfram Gerstner, Werner M. Kistler, "Spiking Neuron Models"
Cambridge University Press | ISBN 0521890799 | 2002 Year | DjVu | 3,62 Mb | 400
Pages
This introduction to spiking neurons can be used in advanced-level courses in
computational neuroscience, theoretical biology, neural modeling, biophysics, or
neural networks. It focuses on phenomenological approaches rather than detailed
models in order to provide the reader with a conceptual framework. The authors
formulate the theoretical concepts clearly without many mathematical details.
While the book contains standard material for courses in computational
neuroscience, neural modeling, or neural networks, it also provides an entry to
current research. No prior knowledge beyond undergraduate mathematics is
required.
Matthew Gast, "802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide" (2nd Edition)
O'Reilly | ISBN 0596100523 | 2005 Year | CHM | 7,84 Mb | 654 Pages
As we all know by now, wireless networks offer many advantages over fixed (or
wired) networks. Foremost on that list is mobility, since going wireless frees
you from the tether of an Ethernet cable at a desk. But that's just the tip of
the cable-free iceberg. Wireless networks are also more flexible, faster and
easier for you to use, and more affordable to deploy and maintain. The de facto
standard for wireless networking is the 802.11 protocol, which includes Wi-Fi
(the wireless standard known as 802.11b) and its faster cousin, 802.11g. With
easy-to-install 802.11 network hardware available everywhere you turn, the
choice seems simple, and many people dive into wireless computing with less
thought and planning than they'd give to a wired network. But it's wise to be
familiar with both the capabilities and risks associated with the 802.11
protocols. And 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is
the perfect place to start. This updated edition covers everything you'll ever
need to know about wireless technology. Designed with the system administrator
or serious home user in mind, it's a no-nonsense guide for setting up 802.11 on
Windows and Linux. Among the wide range of topics covered are discussions on:
deployment considerations
network monitoring and performance tuning
wireless security issues
how to use and select access points
network monitoring essentials
wireless card configuration
security issues unique to wireless networks
With wireless technology, the advantages to its users are indeed plentiful.
Companies no longer have to deal with the hassle and expense of wiring
buildings, and households with several computers can avoid fights over who's
online. And now, with 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, 2nd
Edition, you can integrate wireless technology into your current infrastructure
with the utmost confidence.
K. Nakamura, "Quantum versus Chaos: Questions Emerging from Mesoscopic Cosmos"
Springer | ISBN 0792345576 | 1997 Year | PDF | 4,94 Mb | 224 Pages
Quantum and chaos, key concepts in contemporary science, are incompatible by
nature. This volume presents an investigation into quantum transport in
mesoscopic or nanoscale systems which are classically chaotic and shows the
success and failure of quantal, semiclassical, and random matrix theories in
dealing with questions emerging from the mesoscopic cosmos. These traditional
theories are critically analysed, and this leads to a new direction. To
reconcile quantum with chaos and to restore genuine temporal chaos in quantum
systems, a time-discrete variant of quantum dynamics is proposed.
Audience:This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in
physics, chemistry and mathematics, whose work involves fundamental questions of
quantum mechanics in chaotic systems

Pages
This book discusses the physical phases of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in
ordinary environments, as well as in extreme environments with high temperatures
and high baryon numbers. Under such extreme conditions, new phases are thought
to exist: the quark-gluon plasma and color superconductivity. After introducing
lattice gauge theory, John Kogut and Mikhail Stephanov emphasize the application
