Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) has become the tool to design any type of public security systems, in particular due to the strongly increased security demands for mobile systems. In this book, the authors show how TETRA can be strongly improved and these improvements will most probably be part of future TETRA standards. The areas examined include channel assignment and multiple access techniques, video transmission, wireless LAN integration, and the establishment of multiple wireless mesh networks. Since the requirements for these networks is security, the authors show that innovative...

In the last decades these numerical me- ods that are used to calculate approximate solutions of Maxwell s equations have evolved from pure academic disciplines to powerful and user-friendly - gineering software tools. Meanwhile numerous commercial software packages exist that are widely used in the RF engineering community. Developments in thesoftwareaccompaniedbyprogressincomputertechnologyallownowadays many practical problems to be solved on standard PC systems. The text is written with...

In this book, an international team of highly qualified experts treats important topics in "Acoustic Echo and Noise Control" and report the latest developments. Methods for enhancing the quality of transmitted speech signals are gaining growing attention in universities and in industrial development laboratories.
This book is organized in five parts: Part I gives a short introduction to acoustic echo and noise control. Part II deals with multi-microphone processing. In Part III, advanced methods for both linear and nonlinear echo cancellation are presented, and techniques for...

Shall we be destined to the days of eternity, on holy-days, as well as working days, to be shewing the RELICKS OF LEARNING, as monks do the relicks of their saints without working one one single miracle with them? Laurence Sterne, Tristram Shandy This book deals with information processing; so it is far from being a book on information theory (which would be built on description and estimation). The reader will be shown the horse, but not the saddle. At any rate, at the very beginning, there was a series of lectures on Information theory, through the looking-glass of an algebraist, and, as...

Digital Television ("Digital TeleVision Broadcasting" DTVB] or "Digital Video Broadcasting" DVB]) has become one of the most exciting develop ments in the area of consumer electronics at the end of the twentieth century. The term digital television is not typically used either to describe the digitisa tion of the production studio or to indicate the advent of digital signal proc essing in the integrated circuits used in television receivers. Rather, digital television refers to the source coding of audio, data and video signals, the channel coding and the methods for the transport of DVB...
