Providing a fundamental understanding of satellite communications and related disciplines, this unique book explains the underpinnings, introduces key personalities, and probes emerging issues in this exciting field. The authors discuss key topics such as orbital mechanics, electromagnetic theory, and atmospheric effects on signals, earth stations, digital communications, and video compression, The CD-ROM performs rapid calculations on various problems that are explored.

Based on the 1980 text, Microstrip Antennas, this volume offers information on designing any type of microstrip antenna. In addition to addressing essential microchip antenna theory, the authors highlight current design and engineering practices, emphasizing pressing issues such as broadbanding, circular polarization and active microstrip antennas in particular. Special design challenges, ranging from dual polarization, high bandwidth, and surface wave mitigation, to choosing the proper substrate, and shaping an antenna to achieve desired results are all covered. The book includes more than 400 illustrations, and over 1600 equations and analytical techniques for all types of common microstrip antennas.

Authored by an internationally known expert in configuration management (CM) solutions, this unique new book examines CM from a "business value" perspective. The book provides a thorough overview of CM technology and reveals "best practice" techniques for selecting and deploying automated CM solutions. It also explores nine key challenges facing e-commerce and gives guidelines for avoiding common pitfalls that can quickly derail an e-business.

Featuring a balance of theory and practical application, this text examines the use of electro-optic architectures and high-resolution encoding techniques that directly digitize wideband signals in a digital receiver. It explains symmetrical number system (SNS) signal processing techniques that can be applied to designs using symmetrical folding wave-forms, providing a high-performance framework for getting optimum results from such systems.

This easy-to-understand introductory-level book makes extensive use of photos and illustrations in explaining the role of broadband technology in high-speed Internet access. Its lightly technical approach includes graphs depicting market developments and diagrams of important system characteristics. A handy reference for information on high-speed Internet support systems now in use or to come into use by 2015.

This reference book is designed to be used as a manual to assist in the solving of design problems. The book describes how to use information gathered and presents design data for reference. Large graphs with grid lines make it easier to extract data for specific designs.

The effective application of information technology (IT) can be the key to achieving organizational change and improvements that directly impact your company's success in today's highly competitive business. This manual provides approaches for developing system models that bridge the traditional gap between information systems and software engineering and allow you to manage change and outcomes effectively. With contributions from researchers and practitioners in the field - including Ian Somerville, Wendy Currie, Keith Bennett and Dave Bustard - the book examines change from business, information systems and software engineering perspectives, and addresses major concepts and issues in systems engineering and business process improvement.

A complete and up-to-date introduction to the analysis and design of infrared and electro-optical (EO) imaging systems. The text details the principles and components of the Linear Shift-Invariant (LSI) infrared and electro-optical systems and combines it with calculus and domain transformations to achieve a successful imaging system analysis. Ultimately, the steps in this book lead to results in quantitative characterizations of performance metrics such as modulation transfer functions, minimum resolvable temperature difference; minimum resolvable contrast, and probability of object discrimination.

This text provides up-to-date information on today's networking technologies, traffic profiles, design and optimization approaches, and the strengths and weaknesses of various network design tools. The book presents an engineering approach for the design of local area networks and wide area data communications networks and offers guidance for purchasing decisions.

This book delivers information and analysis on fiber in the subscriber loop, and elucidates the competitive advantages to be gained by implementation. The book analyzes engineering, economic and policy issues involved in the deployment of residential fiber optics networks. The text includes a comparison between the telephone and cable television industries, addresses which services can be economically provided by a fiber network, predicts who is likely to deliver those services and describes the most efficient network architecture.

A selection of articles reprinted directly from journals that include (among others): AT&T technical journal, Data communications, Computer networks, IEEE communications magazine . They provide an overview of recent developments and capture alternative viewpoints; the common theme is integrated serv

A discussion of key technical, economic, legal and policy issues. This book covers the telco/cable television competitions and provides an historical context as well as coverage of the latest developments.
