This book describes methods for making accurate radar measurements of short distances in applications where physical contact with materials is impractical. Sources of error are identified, and methods of reducing these errors are described.

Ubiquitous IT services are just beginning to emerge, yet the time is coming when they will truly revolutionize information technology. Based on groundbreaking papers presented at the International Symposium on New Frontiers for Ubiquitous IT Services, this far-reaching resource provides engineers with a detailed look at the technological developments that are blazing the way to a new information age.

The main reason for the premature breakdown of today’s electronic products (computers, cars, tools, appliances, etc.) is the failure of the components used to build these products. Today professionals are looking for effective ways to minimize the degradation of electronic components to help ensure longer-lasting, more technically sound products and systems.

There are two basic methods of error control for communication, both involving coding of the messages.

During the 1980s the worldwide interest in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) grew rapidly with the introduction of legislation to control the growing interference problems generated by the increased use of electronic equipment in industry and in the home.

“This book is a reference for applications involving signals with time-varying spectra reference.

A basic text covering the physical phenomena involved in electronic conduction; ways in which these phenomena combine to govern the characteristics, ratings, and limitations of electronic devices; and applications of electronics to the various branches of electrical engineering.

Reuse in Electronic Design From Information Modelling to Intellectual Properties Peter Conradi Berlin, Germany Reuse of existing IC intellectual property blocks is currently the hot topic in electronic design automation. By cutting development time and improving designer productivity, reuse offers a faster time to market and consequently increased profitability. Conradi encompasses the fundamentals of physical system modelling, design methodologies and basic design architectures plus reuse strategies and tasks. Features include

The importance of creating sophisticated information support to humans is increasing with society’s need to support elderly populations with limited sensing performance. This book discusses human-related (based) and artificial sensing in coherence with hu
