John Wiley & Sons Inc Introduction to the Theory of ErrorCorrecting
Book SynopsisA complete introduction to the many mathematical tools used to solve practical problems in coding. Mathematicians have been fascinated with the theory of error-correcting codes since the publication of Shannon''s classic papers fifty years ago. With the proliferation of communications systems, computers, and digital audio devices that employ error-correcting codes, the theory has taken on practical importance in the solution of coding problems. This solution process requires the use of a wide variety of mathematical tools and an understanding of how to find mathematical techniques to solve applied problems. Introduction to the Theory of Error-Correcting Codes, Third Edition demonstrates this process and prepares students to cope with coding problems. Like its predecessor, which was awarded a three-star rating by the Mathematical Association of America, this updated and expanded edition gives readers a firm grasp of the timeless fundamentals of coding as well as the laTable of ContentsIntroductory Concepts.

John Wiley & Sons Inc ThyristorBased Facts Controllers for Electrical
Book SynopsisAn important new resource for the international utility market Over the past two decades, static reactive power compensators have evolved into a mature technology and become an integral part of modern electrical power systems. They are one of the key devices in flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS). Coordination of static compensators with other controllable FACTS devices promises not only tremendously enhanced power system controllability, but also the extension of power transfer capability of existing transmission corridors to near their thermal capacities, thus delaying or even curtailing the need to invest in new transmission facilities. Offering both an in-depth presentation of theoretical concepts and practical applications pertaining to these power compensators, Thyristor-Based FACTS Controllers for Electrical Transmission Systems fills the need for an appropriate text on this emerging technology.

Book SynopsisTime-Harmonic Electromagnetic Fields A Classic Reissue in the IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory Donald G. Dudley, Series Editor When I begin a new research project, I clear my desk and put away all texts and reference books. Invariably, Harrington''s book is the first book to find its way back to my desk. My copy is so worn that it is falling apart.--Dr. Kendall F. Casey, SRI In the opinion of our faculty, there is no other book available that serves as well as Professor Harrington''s does as an introduction to advanced electromagnetic theory and to classic solution methods in electromagnetics.--Professor Chalmers M. Butler, Clemson University First published in 1961, Roger Harrington''s Time-Harmonic Electromagnetic Fields is one of the most significant works in electromagnetic theory and applications. Over the past forty years, it proved to be a key resource for students, professors, researchers, and engineers who require a comprehensive, Trade Review"...offers in-depth treatment of the subject.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Wireless LANs
Book SynopsisWireless local area networks (LANs) and personal area networks (PANs) seem set to play an expanding role in the future of telecommunications, and particularly in the convergence of local networks with the fiber-optic Internet backbone. This book is an introduction to the subject by the companies at the forefront of wireless LAN development.Trade ReviewWireless Local Area Networks is for those who will be charged with designing, building, and maintaining those networks, and it is a resolutely practical book. The very first page of the preface promises that the chapters were chosen for “conciseness and clarity [without] unnecessary information.” The book begins with an overview of wireless standards, and moves on to cover network security, public access, personal area networks, and future developments. The chapters are, as promised, clear and concise. The overview of 802.11b in Chapter 1 and the Bluetooth overview in chapter 13 are both excellent introductions to these wireless networking standards. -- ACM Networker Overall, the book is a valuable source of information about wireless LAN technologies with special respect to IEEE 802.11 standards. It contains a lot of practical information that comes from the experience of the authors....Lots of illustrations help understanding of important topics. The book will be attractive to many readers. I recommend it for every WLAN user, students, graduate students, as well as engineers and mobile operators.-- IEEE Communications "...attractive to many readers.

John Wiley & Sons Inc ComputerAided Design of Analog Integrated
Book SynopsisThe tools and techniques you need to break the analog design bottleneck! Ten years ago, analog seemed to be a dead-end technology. Today, System-on-Chip (SoC) designs are increasingly mixed-signal designs. With the advent of application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) technologies that can integrate both analog and digital functions on a single chip, analog has become more crucial than ever to the design process. Today, designers are moving beyond hand-crafted, one-transistor-at-a-time methods. They are using new circuit and physical synthesis tools to design practical analog circuits; new modeling and analysis tools to allow rapid exploration of system level alternatives; and new simulation tools to provide accurate answers for analog circuit behaviors and interactions that were considered impossible to handle only a few years ago. To give circuit designers and CAD professionals a better understanding of the history and the current state of the art in the field, this volumTable of ContentsPreface ix Acknowledgments xi Part I Introduction to Analog CAD Part II Analog Synthesis Part III Symbolic Analysis Part IV Analog Layout Part V Analog Modeling Analysis Part VI Spec Simulation Part VII Analog Centering and Yield Optimization Part VIII Analog Test About the Editors 754
