Volume 2 covers the 1830s, a period when Faraday pursued the consequences of his discovery of electromagnetic induction and revised entirely the theories of electrochemistry and the nature of electricity. His correspondents include scientists of the day as well as antiquaries, military men, artists and politicians.

This book develops the concepts underlying the design of adaptive arrays from first principles and is directed at research workers and designers whose mathematical background requires refurbishment in the special techniques which have accumulated around the field, often to the obscuration of the simple basic ideas.

A highly readable and lucid introduction to the complex subject of signalling enabling the reader to understand detailed signalling specifications and international standards recommendations.

This book concentrates upon the work of Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) in three phases; discovery of the fundamental concepts and coding them into universal laws, leading the adoption of the metric system, and securing worldwide use of units and standards (now the IEC system).

This book addresses the basic problems associated with a waveguide as a communication medium. It includes studies of metallic cylindrical waveguides, surface impedance waveguides, dielectrical and open waveguides and natural waveguides. Special attention is paid to millimetric and optical waveguides.

This book covers four main issues: the background of knowledge-based control, artificial intelligence, applications of knowledge expertise, and deductive control.

This book contains the diary he kept from 1939 until 1945, recording work in the laboratories and his own wider role in the planning and organisation of the scientific war effort, against the background of the progress of the war problems of members of his staff.

This book provides an introduction to many aspects of computer control. It covers techniques or control algorithm design and tuning of controllers; computer communications; parallel processing; and software design and implementation.

This book brings together developments in both the physics and engineering of semiconductor devices. Much attention is paid to so-called 'band gap engineering' which is enabling new and higher performance devices to be researched and introduced.

This book is different from others in the field in that it not only presents the fundamentals of DSP ranging from data conversion to z-transforms and spectral analysis, extending this into the areas of digital filtering and control, but also gives significant detail of the new devices themselves and how to use them.

This book describes the key technologies, representative leading systems, technical issues and economics and regulations of Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSATs).

This second edition includes new material and supporting references on: robotics control; programmable logic controllers; self-tuning controllers; distributed computer control systems; and biotechnological control.

This book is concerned with the history of British television for home reception from 1922/23 to 1939, when the London Station closed down for the war years. Great care has been taken to ensure that an unbiased, accurate history has been written and the work is based predominantly on written primary source material.

This book includes a full mathematical treatment of the interaction of an electromagnetic wave with a gyromagnetic ferrite material.

This book presents the equivalent-circuit parameters for a large number of microwave structures.

To serve its purpose, an industrial robot must be harnessed to a manufacturing task, be it welding, assembly, adjustment or the inspection of food products. This book addresses these and many other subjects in a volume which will be of value to industry and to robotic researchers alike.

This book covers the many aspects of modern signal processing systems from the transduction unit through to the display.

Dr. Bennett traces the growing awareness of the importance and significance of the concept of feedback in engineering and details the technical developments that contributed to this awareness. There follows an account of the development of steam and hydraulic servomechanisms and their application to the control of ships and aircraft.

This book is devoted to advanced radiocommunication, discussing the merits and operational aspects of spread spectrum signalling.

This book contains a thorough treatment of phase noise, its relationship to thermal noise and associated subjects such as frequency stability.

This book provides an introduction to silicon IC technology including descriptions of the various processing techniques employed in the manufacture of microelectronic components. A heavy emphasis is placed on the design of semi-custom IC's and consideration is also given to the ways in which custom VLSI circuits will be designed in future.

This guide will prove a great help to businesses in providing the pratical advice that will enable them to master the art of logistics so it can be used to their best business advantage.

This book provides a state-of-the art review of modern families of digital instruments. For each family the book covers internal design, use and applications, highlighting their advantages and limitations from a practical application viewpoint.

Comprehensively reviewing the design, provision and operations of carrier-scale Internet networks, this book presents a good balance between leading edge technology and many of the practical issues surrounding carrierscale IP networks.

This book explores the future of mobile communications networks given the increasing demands for services and higher quality, as well as continued growth in the cellular mobile marketplace.

This book collates the important results which have emerged in the field of non-linear model based predictive control. Feedback linearisation, differential flatness, control Lyapunov functions, output feedback and neural networks are all discussed.

This new title provides a comprehensive account of the current state of the main types of airborne and spaceborne radar systems.

The aim of this book is to provide state-of-the-art information on various aspects of human-machine intereraction and human-centred issues encountered in the control room setting. Illustrated with useful case studies.

This book explains the principles of intelligent telecommunications networks and illustrates them with many practical examples of applications. Although international standards are beginning to emerge, they are far from simple and this text offers insight into the underlying principles.

This book brings together the leading researchers, in high frequency analogue filters to highlight recent advances and identify promising directions for future development.
