The new Digital Radio system DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a highly innovative and universal multimedia broadcast system that will replace the existing AM and FM audio broadcast services in many parts of the world in the immediate future. It is designed for excellent mobile reception, is highly robust against multipath reception and allows the use of single frequency networks (SFN) for high frequency efficiency.In addition to several high-quality digital audio services, DAB is able to transmit programme associated data and a host of other data services including travel and traffic information and still and moving pictures. Dynamic multiplex management on the network side opens up new possibilities for flexible programming. Written in an accessi...

Arithmetic and Logic in Computer Systems provides a useful guide to a fundamental subject of computer science and engineering. Algorithms for performing operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in digital computer systems are presented, with the goal of explaining the concepts behind the algorithms, rather than addressing any direct applications. Alternative methods are examined, and explanations are supplied of the fundamental materials and reasoning behind theories and examples.No other current books deal with this subject, and the author is a leading authority in the field of computer arithmetic. The text introduces the Conventional Radix Number System and the Signed-Digit Number System, as well as Residue Number System ...

CompTIA's IT Project+ certification is an industry-recognized credential acknowledging competency and professionalism in IT Project Management, including the necessary business knowledge, interpersonal skills, and project management processes required to successfully manage IT projects. Now that the dot-com bubble has burst, well-established IT companies continue to seek individuals with technical skills as well as practical business and project management knowledge. The IT Project+ certification validates this breadth of technical and business acumen....

Wireless Communications Systems and Networks covers the breadth of research in wireless communications. It begins by detailing the essential background, such as wireless standards, spread spectrum and CDMA systems, and goes on to discuss advanced topics in next generation wireless systems. Discussions of advanced-level materials progress in a step-by-step fashion to ensure that readers with some basic knowledge of wireless communications can easily follow the text, without the need to refer to other related readings. This book is a self-contained reference with chapters by top researchers in the field, and is of great interest to telecommunications engineers, students and researchers....

This book describes a family of state-of-the-art numerical and semi-analytical techniques for determining stress intensity factors for cracks; the quantities which determine and control the fatigue life of engineering components. Fatigue problems are dominated by behaviour of the crack when it is short, and in the neighbourhood of the source of nucleation, as this is where the majority of the life is used up. A knowledge of crack-tip stress intensity factors in this regime is paramount. The techniques described in this book are very efficient methods of determining stress intensity factors with great precision and computational efficiency. This will allow for accurate estimates of component life and inspection intervals....
