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 …
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 …
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 …
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 Rolf Oppliger, who wrote End-to-End Encrypted Messaging, had to say: What are some problems your book can help readers solve? The …
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 …
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, …
