The satellite communication landscape is evolving. The traditional services are not sustaining the growth that the space industry is used to, and new services are showing new promises. Broadband access is such an area encompassing two main applications, namely fixed broadband and mobile broadband. In these days where economics are becoming the deciding factor in …
Artech House is pleased to announce the publication of two titles in March 2021. High-Throughput Satellites Hector Fenech This exciting new book discusses the motivation for the evolution of a new breed of High Throughput Satellites (HTS) that have emerged from traditional communications satellites. It explores the commercial sectors and technical context that have shaped …
Recently, the OFDM technology has advanced significantly. It has found applications in 5G using concepts such as OFDM-MIMO, Massive MIMO and others. However, OFDM is still the fundamental building block of all these advanced applications. To help the readers get up to speed in stepping into the 5G era, this book entitled “Introduction to OFDM …
The Technical Foundations of IoT by Boris Adryan, Dominik Obermaier, Paul Fremantle provides an overview of the technical aspects of the Internet of Things (in fact, most other modern technology!), offering more theory and background information than is usually required for non-specialists in interdisciplinary development teams. That is, product design specialists are going to get an introduction …
Once in a while we find ourselves writing about topics which are relatively new to us. My comfort zone as an author is RF engineering but suddenly it seems that free space optical wireless is becoming important in space and terrestrial networks. Counter intuitively this became obvious when looking at the economics of subsea fibre …

At Artech House, we ask our authors what problems their books can help readers solve. In this series, we share what our authors aim to do in their writing. Read on to find out what Barbara Kemp and Bart Lovett, who wrote The Handbook of Next-Generation Emergency Services, had to say: What are some problems your …
This book is the definitive resource for in-band full-duplex (IBFD) wireless systems. IBFD technology allows devices to transmit and receive signals on the same frequency at the same time, but has intentionally been avoided in a wide range of traditional systems. This is due to the significant self-interference that is generated by a transmitter co-located …
We’re thrilled to share the latest in communications and photonics from Artech House – click here for our new brochure.
Sometimes as engineers we get depressed by the marketing hype applied to what are perceived as new technology opportunities. Smart Cities are an exemplar of this problem. A local satirical journalist used to point out that the easiest way to uncover absurdity was to proposition the opposite, for example, ‘Dumb Cities, the future?’ But there …
