This book covers high speed data converters from the perspective of a leading high speed ADC designer and architect, and with a strong emphasis on high speed Nyquist A/D converters.

This book describes a number of systems-level 'patterns' (pre-defined, reusable sets of views) that may be applied using the systems modelling language SysML for the development of any number of different applications and as the foundations for a system model.

Based on original research and case experience, this book presents a structured approach to making the important decisions for developing a make or buy strategy for manufacturing business.

Design thinking represents a novel methodology for developing projects. Instead of focusing on the project itself, the main driver is the end user. The book takes the trainee engineer through the various stages of design thinking and provides case studies and tools for them to use to practice.

Starting with the theory and fundamentals behind antenna booster design and matching networks, the authors show readers how to put theory into practice to design antenna systems on wireless platforms and multiband design for wireless device operations with optimized matching networks either passive or active.

This book provides a framework of different modeling and control algorithms using MATLAB®/Simulink®, and presents design, simulation and experimental verification techniques for the design of lower cost and more reliable and performant systems.

Written by an international team of experts from a wide range of research areas, this book highlights the emerging role of cognitive sensors in a growing number of real time applications including smart health, smart cities, smart transportation, smart energy and smart agriculture.

This book reviews some of the underlying technologies and also some recent applications in a number of fields. In a world increasingly overloaded with data of varying quality, not least via the Internet, computerised tools are becoming useful to 'mine' useful data from the mass available.
