Detection estimation and modulation theory, part III is one of the great time-tested classics in the field of signal processing. Highly readable and practically organized, it is imperative today for professionals, researchers, and students in optimum signal processing as it was over thirty years ago.

Introduction to radar systems throughly covers the fundamentals of radar and its technology for the students as well as the practicing engineer. The text is based both on a graduate radar course taught by Dr. Skolnik for many years, aswell as Dr. Skolnik long and varies experience as a radar engineer. This book should be on the desk of anyone interested in or involved in radar. The third edition has been completely revised. It incorporates many of the advances made in radar in recent years and updates the basics of radar in a clear and understandable manner.

Microwave Engineering is a vast subject with topics ranging from semiconductor physics to electromagnetic theory. This textbook covers the microwave and RF engineering topics from an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) approach. The topics includes RF and microwave concepts and components, transmission lines, network parameters, maximum power transfer requirements, lumped and distributed impedance matching, and several linear amplifier designs. Almost all subject matters covered in the textbook are accompanied by examples that are solved using the latest version of Keysight ADS software. University students and practicing engineers will find this book both as a potent learning tool and as a reference guide to quickly setup designs using the ADS software. The book thoroughly covers the basics as well as introducing techniques that may not be familiar to some engineers. This includes subjects such as the frequent use of the MATLAB Script capability.

This book presents the latest developments in packaging for high-frequency electronics. It is a companion volume to ¿RF and Microwave Microelectronics Packaging¿ (2010) and covers the latest developments in thermal management, electrical/RF/thermal-mechanical designs and simulations, packaging and processing methods, and other RF and microwave packaging topics. Chapters provide detailed coverage of phased arrays, T/R modules, 3D transitions, high thermal conductivity materials, carbon nanotubes and graphene advanced materials, and chip size packaging for RF MEMS. It appeals to practicing engineers in the electronic packaging and high-frequency electronics domain, and to academic researchers interested in understanding the leading issues in the commercial sector. It is also a good reference and self-studying guide for students seeking future employment in consumer electronics.

In this 3rd edition, the true spirit of George W. Stimson lives on throughout the book as the extensive team of highly respected radar editors, authors and experts world-wide are hugely committed to maintaining the excellence of the previous edition and honouring the mantra of ¿simplicity is best.¿ Stimson was incredibly skilled at explaining complex technical concepts and this is demonstrated in the overall look and feel of the new book in the straight forward and clearly explained writing style and array of unique high quality supporting visuals.

Stuff Matters by Mark Miodnownik is a unique and inspiring exploration of human creativity. "Enthralling. A mission to re-acquaint us with the wonders of the fabric that sustains our lives". (Guardian). Everything is made of something...From the everyday objects in our homes to the most extraordinary new materials that will shape our future, Stuff Matters reveals the inner workings of the man-made world, the miracles of craft, design, engineering and ingenuity that surround us every day. From the tea-cup to the jet engine, the silicon chip to the paper clip, from the ancient technologies of fabrics and ceramic to today's self-healing metals and bionic implants, this is a book to inspire amazement and delight at mankind's creativity.
