The global positioning system (GPS) is a network of satellites and receiving devices that are used to detect the location of objects on Earth. Some GPS receivers are so precise that they can pinpoint their location to within one millimetre (0.4 inches). GPS receivers offer latitude, longitude, and altitude information. GPS is a network of more than 30 navigation satellites circling the Earth. We know where they are because they give out signals all the time. These signals are detected by a GPS receiver in your phone. When the receiver calculates its distance from four or more GPS satellites,...

Microwave dielectric ceramic (MDC) is commonly utilized in millimeter wave ultra-fast wireless networks and intelligent transmission systems. This technology requires dielectrics with a high-quality factor (Q), a low dielectric permittivity ( r), and a low resonant frequency at almost zero temperature coefficients ( f). The recent revolution in microwave circuits has attracted the attention of the scientific community to design and fabricate an efficient antenna with reduced cost and size so that such devices can be integrated with the embedded system. Dielectrics are becoming expensive in...

This book provides a comprehensive overview of environmental studies, combining scientific, technological, and social perspectives to promote a holistic understanding of our planet. It covers five areas: the nature and scope of environmental studies, ecosystems and biodiversity, pollution and waste management, social and legislative aspects, and the relationship between human population and the environment. Blending foundational concepts with real-world case studies, it emphasizes sustainable development, conservation, and environmental ethics. Designed for undergraduate students, it also...
