Fractional processes are widely found in science, technology and engineering systems. In Fractional Processes and Fractional-order Signal Processing, some complex random signals, characterized by the presence of a heavy-tailed distribution or non-negligible dependence between distant observations (local and long memory), are introduced and examined from the 'fractional' perspective using simulation, fractional-order modeling and filtering and realization of fractional-order systems. These fractional-order signal processing (FOSP) techniques are based on fractional calculus, the fractional...

Pervasive Mobile and Ambient Wireless Communications reports the findings of COST 2100, a project of the European intergovernmental COST framework addressing various topics currently emerging in mobile and wireless communications. Drawing on experience developed in this and earlier COST projects, the text represents the final outcome of collaborative work involving more than 500 researchers in 140 institutions and 30 countries (including outside Europe). The book s subject matter includes:
transmission techniques;
signal processing;
radio channel modelling and measurement;
...

This book is concerned with remote sensing based on the technology of imaging radar. It assumes no prior knowledge of radar on the part of the reader, commencing with a treatment of the essential concepts of microwave imaging and progressing through to the development of multipolarisation and interferometric radar, modes which underpin contemporary applications of the technology. The use of radar for imaging the earth s surface and its resources is not recent. Aircraft-based microwave systems were operating in the 1960s, ahead of optical systems that image in the visible and infrared regions...

This publication enhances our understanding of the interplay between technical viability, robust regulation, and economic benefit in the introduction of new wireless technology. It provides a solid basis for future academic research and industry development.

This book emphasizes the principles of digital transmission rather than modern technologies. Each topic is addressed theoretically and by simulation. Topics include notions of probability and stochastic processes, spread spectrum, channel coding, and more.

This book guides readers through the design of hardware architectures using VHDL for digital communication and image processing applications that require performance computing. sequential logic, structural and behavioral description, digital circuit design, and finite state machines.
