The introduction of GaAs/ AIGaAs double heterostructure lasers has opened the door to a new age in the application of compound semiconductor materials to microwave and optical technologies.
Practical Low Power Digital VLSI Design emphasizes the optimization and trade-off techniques that involve power dissipation, in the hope that the readers are better prepared the next time they are presented with a low power design problem.
This single source reference offers a pragmatic and accessible approach to the basic methods and procedures used in the manufacturing and design of modern electronic products.
Since the first edition of this book was published in 1987, there have been several important changes in the state of numerical field computation, as discussed in the Introduction.
Those of us who grew up in the "e;through-hole"e; age of electronic packaging are probably more amazed and appreciative than are our children at the incredible growth of electronic performance capability.
Fiber Optics Vocabulary Development In 1979, the National Communications System published Technical InfonnationBulle- tin TB 79-1, Vocabulary for Fiber Optics and Lightwave Communications, written by this author.
For the first time in power electronics, this comprehensive treatment of switch-mode DC/DC converter designs addresses many analytical closed form equations such as duty cycle prediction, output regulation, output ripple, control loop-gain, and steady state time-domain waveform.
This book is about electric energy: its generation, its transmission from the point of generation to where it is required, and its transformation into required forms.
The 1996 Conference focused on topics of environmentally attractive technologies for electricity production-renewables, natural gas, and nuclear energy.
This volume is a collection of papers presented at the Ninth International Symposium on "e;Ultrafast Processes in Spectroscopy"e; (UPS '95) held at the International Centre for Theo- retical Physics (ICTP), Trieste (Italy), October 30 -November 3, 1995.
This book represents an attempt to treat three aspects of digital systems, design, prototyping and customization, in an integrated manner using two major technologies: VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) as a modeling and specification tool, and Field-Programmable Logic Devices (FPLDs) as an implementation technology.
The access network is expected to be one of the major battlegrounds of telecommunications network operators, since upgrades of the existing narrowband access network will be the critical factor in supplying multimedia broadband services in a competitive market.
Progress in optical fiber sensors The field of optical fiber sensor technology is one that continues to expand and develop at a rate that could barely have been predicted a few years ago.
The International Workshop on "e;Intersubband Transitions in Quantum Wells:: Physics and Applications,"e; was held at National Cheng Kung University, in Tainan, Taiwan, December 15-18, 1997.
The advent of low temperature superconductors in the early 1960's converted what had been a laboratory curiosity with very limited possibilities to a prac- tical means of fabricating electrical components and devices with lossless con- ductors.
As the demand for data reliability increases, coding for error control becomes increasingly important in data transmission systems and has become an integral part of almost all data communication system designs.
Coding for Channels with Feedback presents both algorithms for feedback coding and performance analyses of these algorithms, including analyses of perhaps the most important performance criterion: computational complexity.
Nonlinear Modeling: Advanced Black-Box Techniques discusses methods on Neural nets and related model structures for nonlinear system identification; Enhanced multi-stream Kalman filter training for recurrent networks; The support vector method of function estimation; Parametric density estimation for the classification of acoustic feature vectors in speech recognition; Wavelet-based modeling of nonlinear systems; Nonlinear identification based on fuzzy models; Statistical learning in control and matrix theory; Nonlinear time-series analysis.
Low Power Design in Deep Submicron Electronics deals with the different aspects of low power design for deep submicron electronics at all levels of abstraction from system level to circuit level and technology.
Modeling Microprocessor Performance focuses on the development of a design and evaluation tool, named RIPE (Rensselaer Interconnect Performance Estimator).
The subject of this book is predictive modular neural networks and their ap- plication to time series problems: classification, prediction and identification.
Neurobiology research suggests that information can be represented by the location of an activity spot in a population of cells (`place coding'), and that this information can be processed by means of networks of interconnections.
High-Performance Networks for Multimedia Applications presents the latest research on the services and protocols for networks providing the communication support for distributed multimedia applications.
Multirate Switched-Capacitor Circuits for 2-D Signal Processing introduces the concepts of analog multirate signal processing for the efficient implementation of two-dimensional (2-D) filtering in integrated circuit form, particularly from the viewpoints of silicon area and power dissipation.
