Books in the Electrical Engineering Handbook series

A reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Encompassing the work of the world's foremost experts in their respective specialties, it features the developments, the broadest scope of coverage, and material on nanotechnologies, fuel cells, embedded systems, and biometrics.

Highlighting the use of transforms and their properties, this title offers an introduction to signals and systems, including properties of the delta function and some classical orthogonal functions. It then details different transforms, including lapped, Mellin, wavelet, and Hartley varieties.

Covers the fundamental and specialized aspects of information-bearing signals in digital form. This title contains information on signal processing algorithms and protocols related to speech, audio, multimedia, and video processing technology associated with standards ranging from WiMax to MP3 audio, and low-power/high-performance DSPs.

Combining select chapters from Leonard Grigsby's The Electric Power Engineering Handbook with several not found in the original work, Electric Power Substations Engineering has become a widely popular volume on the theory, design, analysis, operation, and protection of power substations. Once again part of the handbook, this third edition presents contributions from active leaders around the world. Coverage reflects international standards, practices, and technologies¿not just those used in North America. Updated to include the latest developments, trends, and technologies, this proven resource once again provides a thorough and up-to-date guide for power engineers at all levels of expertise.A volume in the Electric Power Engineering Handbook, Third Edition Volumes in the set:K12642 Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution, Third Edition (ISBN: 9781439856284)K12648 Power Systems, Third Edition (ISBN: 9781439856338)K13917 Power System Stability and Control, Third Edition (9781439883204)K12643 Electric Power Transformer Engineering, Third Edition (9781439856291)Watch an interview with John D.

This third edition reflects the latest advances in mobile communications. In particular, the text expands coverage of wireless local area networks, low-speed wireless data, and wireless ATM. The book also addresses new standards for wireless LANs and high-speed broadband, as well as for wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and tandem connections of digital cellular, IEEE 802.11, and IEEE 8902.16 networks. The author also covers the development of very-short-distance wireless connectivity technologies, such as Bluetooth and ultrawideband technologies, along with the rise of third- and fourth-generation digital cellular systems and wireless multimedia communications.

With a specific focus on the needs of the designers and engineers in industrial settings, this work presents a practical overview of basic issues associated with design and control of mechanical systems. It also answers diverse questions fundamental to the successful design and implementation of mechanical systems in a variety of applications.

Offers information for the of ad hoc wireless networks. This book addresses potential uses of ad hoc wireless networks, such as disaster recovery and applications related to healthcare, defense, home networking, the classroom, and corporate conferencing. It also covers security and privacy of information in ad hoc wireless networks.

Covering the design and use of control systems, the book includes applications for cars, including PEM fuel cells; aerospace; industrial control of machines and processes; biomedical uses, including robotic surgery and drug discovery and development; and electronics and communication networks.

This first volume offers an overview for those new to the field, but it is also very valuable in any fields where work is reliant on, but not exclusively dedicated to, control systems. Covering mathematical fundamentals, defining principles, and basic system approaches, this volume details essential background, including transforms and complex variables. It also includes mathematical and graphical models used for dynamical systems, with coverage of analysis and design methods and stability testing for continuous-time systems. Delving into digital control and discrete-time systems¿including real-time software for implementing feedback control and programmable controllers¿this volume analyzes design methods for nonlinear systems.
