A survey of monolithic tunable semiconductor lasers, including applications in optical communication systems. The text discusses the underlying physics, operational principles and performance and applications of tunable laser diodes, covering tuning mechanisms, properties and laser structures.

Other books on the market have explored the principles of software configuration management (SCM), but none have tackled the nuts-and- bolts of implementing an SCM system - until now.

Provides a discussion of issues and technologies in developing networked multimedia systems. The text aims to teach the reader about the specific demands that multimedia systems place on the systems architecture, storage, file system, operating system and communication subsystems.

This one-of-a-kind new resource presents cognitive radio from an antenna design perspective and introduces the concept of cognitive radio as a protocol that benefits from under-utilized regions of the spectrum.

The book offers a comprehensive understanding of the options available for teams tasked with bringing 5G products and services to market or developing supporting standards and regulatory frameworks.

The book provides an overview of current and future networking technologies, and offers insight into building end-to-end virtualized, cloud-based, and non-virtualized networks. It presents services with Carrier Ethernet, PBT, MPLS-TP, VPLS and virtualized components while describing testing, information modelling and life-cycle management.

In recent years, cognitive radio emerged, which combines a software-defined radio with an intelligent agent, and promises to deliver a new level of functionality.

This thoroughly updated and expanded second edition is an authoritative resource on industrial measurement systems and sensors with particular attention given to temperature, stress, pressure, acceleration, and liquid flow sensors.

This updated edition includes current, state-of-the art high-speed digital testing practises and references, that are becoming increasingly pertinent for future applications.

This resource explains and demonstrates the backscattering properties of multiscale rough surfaces, and illustrates their application to establish the geophysical model function (GMF) needed in wind scatterometry.

This new resource explains the principles and applications of today's digital optical measurement techniques. From start to finish, each chapter provides a concise introduction to the concepts and principles of digital optical metrology, followed by a detailed presentation of their applications.

This authoritative new resource presents fundamentals of radar analysis including the range equation, detection theory, ambiguity functions, antennas, receivers, SP, and chaff analysis for modern radars.

Receivers systems are considered the core of electronic warfare (EW) intercept systems. Without them, the fundamental purpose of such systems is null and void. This book considers the major elements that make up receiver systems and the receivers that go in them.

This book addresses the topic of geospatial computing in smartphones, including positioning, mobile Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and smart mobile applications.

Wireless voice and data communications have made great improvements, with connectivity now virtually ubiquitous. Users are demanding essentially perfect transmission and reception of voice and data.

Presents advanced topics on photonic communications. With time-saving tools for network simulation and modeling, this book includes coverage of a wide range of critical methods and techniques, such as MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output), OFDM (Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing), and advanced modulation and coding.

Ultrafast diode lasers offer a variety of applications including high-bit-rate optical fibre communication lines, ultrafast optical data processing, optical computing radar systems, optoelectronic measurement applications and instrumentation. This work introduces this developing field.
