Probing operating principles, outcomes and challenges faced by contemporary democracies, this book shows how governments can avoid pitfalls inherent to representative democracy. The authors apply their findings to Greek democracy and economy since 1945.

This book unites two different technologies: parasitic antenna arrays driven via analogue circuits that control the electromagnetic waves generated by the antenna array; and MIMO technology for multi-antenna arrays, typically driven by digital techniques in the baseband domain. The combination of these two technologies has revealed a novel functionality that breaks through the conventional MIMO paradigm, allowing MIMO transmission over the air with the use of antenna arrays that may consist of only a single active element, that is surrounded by a number of passive neighboring antennas. The...
