| Antenna Toolkit, Second Edition Summary: Joe Carr has provided radio amateurs and short-wave listeners with the definitive design guide for sending and receiving radio signals with Antenna Toolkit 2nd edition. Together with the powerful suite of CD software, the reader will have a complete solution for constructing or using an antenna - bar the actual hardware! The software provides a simple Windows-based aid to carrying out the design calculations at the heart of successful antenna design. All the user needs to do is select the antenna type and set the frequency - a much more fun and less error prone method than using a conventional calculator to solve formulae. The new edition has been revised to include further cases of propagation, additional antennas and also two new chapters - Small Loop Antennas (a topic of considerable interest, which has been the subject of much recent debate in the amateur radio press); and Yagi Beam Antennas (widely used at HF and VHF). The CD software has also been updated. Joe Carr's expertise in the area of antenna design is legendary. Antenna designers, whether hobbyist or technician, can be assured they need look no further than Antenna Toolkit for the complete guide to understanding the practicalities of using and designing antennas today.

Fresnel zone antennas refer to reflector and lens antennas based on the Fresnel zone concept and phase correction techniques. Unlike the conventional reflector and lens antennas, the focusing effect in a Fresnel zone antenna is achieved by controlling the phase shifting property of the surface rather than its shape, thus allowing flat or arbitrary configurations. Other advantages of Fresnel zone ~ Although a promising new technology, the ATM standard has certain limitations for implementation into commercial products. This unique book offers a realistic, in-depth evaluation of what the new generation of high-speed switches can and cannot deliver.

A wireless sensor network consists of a large number of sensor nodes that may be randomly and densely deployed. Sensor nodes are small electronic components capable of sensing many types of information from the environment, including temperature; light; humidity; radiation; the presence or nature of biological organisms; geological features; seismic vibrations; specific types of computer data; and more. Recent advancements have made it possible to make these components small, powerful, and energy efficient and they can now be manufactured cost-effectively in quantity for specialized telecommunications applications. Very small in size, the sensor nodes are capable of gathering, processing, and communicating information to other nodes and to the outside world. Based on the information handling capabilities and compact size of the sensor nodes, sensor networks are often referred to as ?smart dust.? ~ The Quintessential PIC® Microcontroller (Computer Communications and Networks) ISBN: 185233309X Author: Sidney J.
