This book discusses the challenges and solutions related to near-field millimeter-wave (MMW) imaging using MIMO arrays. Specifically, the authors focus on the issues of MMW imaging employing arrays in non-planar apertures, which have received limited attention in the existing literature, but are essential for security inspections using MMWs. This book introduces both the MIMO-SAR (using electronic and mechanical scanning) and fully electronic MIMO schemes. It develops and investigates vari...

Motion Control Systems is concerned with design methods that support the never-ending requirements for faster and more accurate control of mechanical motion. The book presents material that is fundamental, yet at the same time discusses the solution of complex problems in motion control systems. Methods presented in the book are based on the authors' original research results. Mathematical complexities are kept to a required minimum so that practicing engineers as well as students...

Step-by-step coverageWith remarkable clarity, Drs. Bernard Sklar and Fred Harris introduce every digital communication technology at the heart of todays wireless and Internet revolutions, with completely new chapters on synchronisation, OFDM, and MIMO.Building on the fields classic, best-selling introduction, the authors provide a unified structure and context for helping students and professional engineers understand each technology, without sacrificing mathematical prec...

This book is intended as a textbook providing a deliberately simple introduction to finite element methods in a way that should be readily understandable to engineers, both students and practising professionals. Only the very simplest elements are considered, mainly two dimensional three-noded “constant strain triangles”, with simple linear variation of the relevant variables. Chapters of the book deal with structural problems (beams), classification of a broad range of engineering into ha...

Unlike a traditional book, this text contains the theory of both analog and digital communication systems supported by simulations (MATLAB & Mathcad) and video lectures referenced throughout the chapters. These simulations and videos are accessed via its associated app, "Communication Systems”, in the iOS and Android app stores. Samples of the book, videos, simulations and app details are available on http://book.janaksodha.comBased on the experience of lecturing for over eighteen ...

Micro- and nanosystems represent an area of major scientific and technological opportunity and challenge, with actual and potential applications in almost all fields of human activity. The aim of this book is to present the central concepts of dynamic control systems (modeling, estimation, observation, identification, feedback control) and to show how they can be adapted and applied to the development of novel very small-scale systems and their associated human interfaces. The application ...

The Intelligent Systems Series comprises titles that present state-of-the-art knowledge and the latest advances in intelligent systems.

A Unified Summary of the Models and Optimization Methods Used in Computational LithographyOptical lithography is one of the most challenging areas of current integrated circuit manufacturing technology. The semiconductor industry is relying more on resolution enhancement techniques (RETs), since their implementation does not require significant changes in fabrication infrastructure. Computational Lithography is the first book to address the computational o...

A practical guide to next-generation wireless terrestrial optical communication through the atmospheric channelTerrestrial Wireless Optical Communication provides in-depth details on free space optics (FSO), from basic concepts to design implementation.

Coulson and Richardson's Chemical Engineering: Volume 3B: Process Control, Fourth Edition, covers reactor design, flow modeling, and gas-liquid and gas-solid reactions and reactors. - Converted from textbooks into fully revised reference material - Content ranges from foundational through to technical - Added emerging applications, numerical methods and computational tools

Finite Element Analysis Applications: A Systematic and Practical Approach strikes a solid balance between more traditional FEA textbooks that focus primarily on theory, and the software specific guidebooks that help teach students and professionals how to use particular FEA software packages without providing the theoretical foundation. In this new textbook, Professor Bi condenses the introduction of theories and focuses mainly on essentials that students need to understand FEA models. The...
