Electronics and Communications Engineering : Applications and Innovations

Every day, millions of people are unaware of the amazing processes that take place when using their phones, connecting to broadband internet, watching television, or even the most basic action of flipping on a light switch. Advances are being continually made in not only the transmission of this data but also in the new methods of receiving it. These advancements come from many different sources and from engineers who have engaged in research, design, development, and implementation of electronic equipment used in communications systems. This volume addresses a selection of important current advancements in the electronics and communications engineering fields, focusing on signal processing, chip design, and networking technology. The sections in the book cover:

• Microwave and antennas



• Communications systems



• Very large-scale integration



• Embedded systems



• Intelligent control and signal processing systems
