This innovative book and CD-ROM learning system offers students and teachers a hands-on, interactive tool that makes the concepts and tools of modern, computer-based signal processing immediately understandable. Built around interactive software (DASYLab) and supported by 240 illustrations, Karrenberg??'s self-tutorial emphasizes the underlying principles of signals and systems while avoiding mathematical models and equations. This approach makes the material more accessible to readers who may lack mathematical and programming sophistication yet need to use or instruct others in the skills. The CD contains all programs, videos, manuals, and the complete text. The S-version of DASYLab for Windows provides an interactive development environment for the graphic programming of signal processing systems, and, more generally, microelectronics systems. Through active links, block diagrams, a pc sound card, and a microphone, users perform signal processing of real signals, attaining a visceral knowledge of the concepts and methods. More than 200 pre-programmed systems and transparencies are included. Interactive Multimedia Introduction to Signal Processing has been awarded a prestigious digita2002 award. Digita awards are one of the most important multimedia prizes in Germany's educational market. They are awarded annually to the best educational software in various categories.

This bestselling book provides an incomparable reference source for all vessels using maritime radio communication systems, which are now a legislative requirement. It includes exhaustive coverage of all UK and international regulations relating to modern maritime communications, such as the crucial GMDSS, all contained within one singular volume. This sixth edition has been fully updated to take into account major developments over the last five years, in particular the revised regulations introduced by the International Telecommunication Union in 2012. The authors deliver an authoritative guide to the complicated and changing world of radio communications, including: The very latest technological advances in terrestrial and satellite communications Changes to the international VHF channel allocation and channel spacing The major overhaul of the organisational structure of the UK Coastguard service Substantial enhancements to the eLoran services The changing complexities of voyage planning Large diagrams, an extensive index and fully-updated appendices This is a definitive guide for today’s maritime communications industry, including ship owners, ship managers, coast guards, seafarers, students of maritime communications, as well as the recreational sector.

This new edition explains the GMDSS rules, regulations and procedures. The book contains the regulations drawn from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and it is a useful teaching aid for GMDSS topics thoroughly updated to explain: significant changes in operating procedures to GMDSS, improvements to communication equipment and the new opportunities they provide, including: Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), Inmarsat Fleet services amendments to GMDSS radio maintenance certificate. Also expanded to include sections on use of radio for: piracy and armed robbery attacks at sea, medical advice and assistance, Mede Vac; and contains updated and extended contact details of important organisations relevant to GMDSS.

Propagation Engineering in Wireless Communications covers the basic principles needed for understanding of radiowaves propagation for common frequency bands used in radio-communications. This book includes descriptions of new achievements and new developements in propagation models for wireless communication. The book is intended to bridge the gap between the theoretical calculations and approaches to the applied procedures needed for radio links design in a proper manner. The authors intention is to emphasize propagation engineering by giving sufficient fundamental information and then going on to explain the use of basic principles together with technical achievements in this field.

Contributions from Finn Trosby, Kevin Holley, Ian Harris Written to celebrate the 25th anniversary of SMS standardization by the people who produced the standards, Short Message Service (SMS): The Creation of Personal Text Messaging, describes the development of the SMS standard and its ongoing evolution. The standardization of SMS started in February 1985 as a part of the creation of the second generation digital cellular system GSM, and the 25th anniversary of the first work on SMS provides an opportunity to review and understand how this service was developed. The book also looks to the future, as a large number of new GSM and evolved GSM phones will support SMS as a mass market high availability messaging service, a new simple Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) suitable for use by everyone and for implementation in every new terminal is proposed. One of the only books which covers the complete SMS genesis from concept ideas to standardization of a first technical solution and its evolution to the present day. Describes the service concept including the limitation of the message length to 160 characters and explains the rationale behind the concept. Based on existing and newly retrieved documentation. Concludes that SMS has a long future since most future GSM phones will support SMS as the only messaging service, and so an SMS evolution is put forward.
