Offers an overview of state of the art passive macromodeling techniques with an emphasis on black-box approaches

This book offers coverage of developments in linear macromodeling, with a focus on effective, proven methods. After starting with a definition of the fundamental properties that must characterize models of physical systems, the authors discuss several prominent passive macromodeling algorithms for lumped and distributed systems and compare them under accuracy, efficiency, and robustness standpoints. The book includes chapters with standard background...

Presents the technological advancements that enable high spectral-efficiency and high-capacity fiber-optic communication systems and networks

This book examines key technology advances in high spectral-efficiency fiber-optic communication systems and networks, enabled by the use of coherent detection and digital signal processing (DSP). The first of this book's 16 chapters is a detailed introduction. Chapter 2 reviews the modulation formats, while Chapter 3 focuses on detection and error correction technologies for coherent optical communication systems. Chapters 4 and 5 are...

This book examines differential-mode and balanced microwave filters by discussing several implementations of practical realizations of these passive components. This book is divided into five parts. Part 1 is an introductory chapter, where the fundamentals of balanced lines, circuits and networks are presented. Part 2 covers balanced transmission lines with common-mode noise suppression and discusses strategies for common-mode suppression in balanced lines, application of common-mode filters to enhance common-mode suppression in single-band and dual-band balanced bandpass filters. Next,...
