The Long Read Every so often we find ourselves embarking on a small piece of research that explodes into a major project. This happened to me this month after a chance encounter with a neighbour who is a senior strategist for one of the oil majors. We were talking about the electric car that sits …
Waves, either electromagnetic (EM) or acoustic (AC) interact with objects and scatter. The addition of incident and scattered fields form the total fields. Scattered fields include (but not limited with) reflections, refractions, and diffractions. The Handbook of Next Generation Emergency Services by Barbara Kemp and Bart Lovett is about diffraction modeling and simulation. Scattering has gained …
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system that gathers, analyses, stores, checks, manipulates, manages, and visualizes data related to spatial locations on Earth’s surface. A GIS works as a database with geographic information (alphanumeric data) that is associated by an identifier common to the graphic objects of digital maps. In this way, when …
Artech House is pleased to announce the publications of three titles in February 2021. Electromagnetic Diffraction Modeling and Simulation with MATLAB Gökhan Apaydin, Levent Sevgi This exciting new resource presents a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of diffraction of two-dimensional canonical structures, including wedge, strip, and triangular cylinder with different boundary conditions. Maxwell equations are discussed, …
Deep Learning for Radar and Communications Automatic Target Recognition presents a comprehensive illustration of modern Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) technology for radio frequency (RF) data exploitation. While numerous textbooks focus on AI/ML technology for non-RF data such as video images, audio speech, and spoken text, there is no such book for RF data. …
A special thanks to author Geoff Varrall for his monthly blog post on a positive thought to start the year: Efficiency Value and Emotional Value As technical writers we are expected to write about how science, technology, engineering and maths make products and services more efficient. Marketing and sales teams rely on steady improvements in …
When Artech House authors write their books, we ask them what they want their readers to get out of the project. In this series, we show you what our authors, in their own words, wish to impart upon readers. Cameron Coursey, author of The Practitioner’s Guide to Cellular IoT, describes what his book is about: The …
This is the third and final technology topic/posting on the RF Economics of the Millimetre Band. In the October Topic, Millimetre Metrology, we reviewed beam forming and beam steering and associated test cost and performance uncertainty. New Radio and New Space in November looked at the cost and performance issues of millimetre band user devices …
“A really comprehensive and wide-ranging study into all aspects of positioning in cellular networks. This book not only gives you all the details you need to understand how positioning works – the technologies, the standards, the protocols – but it also explains in a useful way, why and how we have reached where we are …
