Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book examines the nonlinear distortion of multicarrier signals. First, it outlines the basic principles of multicarrier transmission and multicarrier-based systems. Next, it presents a unified approach to well-known analytical results on memoryless nonlinearities that takes advantage of the Gaussian behavior of multicarrier signals. This is followed by a theoretical study of the accuracy of the Gaussian approximation usually used for multicarrier signals. The book concludes with a study of the performance of some multicarrier-based systems in the presence of different types of nonlinear devices.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Resource allocation is an important issue in wireless communication networks. In recent decades, cognitive radio-based networks have garnered increased attention and have been well studied to overcome the problem of spectrum scarcity in future wireless communication systems. Many new challenges in resource allocation appear in cognitive radio-based networks. This book focuses on effective resource allocation solutions in several important cognitive radio-based networks, including opportunistic spectrum access networks, cooperative sensing networks, cellular networks, high-speed vehicle networks, and smart grids.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Written by a renowned teacher, researcher, and professional consultant in applied dynamics, this book represents a revolutionary approach to modern engineering dynamics analysis-one you can assimilate quickly and easily to get immediate results. The eleventh edition includes a new chapter on Lagrangian Dynamics, and many new and revised examples and chapter problems. The book begins by establishing the premise that most dynamics engineers are developing and analyzing models to predict motion, and that the subject of differential equations is the natural language for dynamics.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Environmental professionals are often called upon to find solutions to environmental degradation problems or to lead the way in planning to prevent them. Because they come mainly from the environmental and science disciplines, most environmental professionals have limited training in the fundamentals of economics. This book is designed to provide those professionals not only with the basic principles of economics for foundational purposes but also the economic pros and cons to consider when making critical decisions on environmental issues.
