Navigation Signal Processing for GNSS Software Receivers by Thomas Pany

The advancement of software radio technology has provided an opportunity for the design of performance-enhanced GNSS receivers that are more flexible and easier to develop than their FPGA or ASIC based counterparts. Filling a gap in the current literature on the subject, this highly practical resource offers you an in-depth understanding of navigation signal detection and estimation algorithms and their implementation in a software radio. This unique book focuses on high precision applications for GNSS signals and an innovative RTK receiver concept based on difference correlators. Read More

Discrete Oscillator Design: Linear, Nonlinear, Transient, and Noise Domains by Randall W. Rhea

Oscillators are an essential part of all spread spectrum, RF, and wireless systems, and today's engineers in the field need to have a firm grasp on how they are designed. Presenting an easy-to-understand, unified view of the subject, this authoritative resource covers the practical design of high-frequency oscillators with lumped, distributed, dielectric and piezoelectric resonators. Including numerous examples, the book details important linear, nonlinear harmonic balance, transient and noise analysis techniques. Moreover, the book shows you how to apply these techniques to a wide range of oscillators. You gain the knowledge needed to create unique designs that elegantly match your specification needs. Over 360 illustrations and more than 330 equations support key topics throughout the book. Read More

Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design, Second Edition by John W. M. Rogers and Calvin Plett, Carleton University

This newly revised and expanded edition of the 2003 Artech House classic, Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design, serves as an up-to-date, practical reference for complete RFIC know-how. The second edition includes numerous updates, including greater coverage of CMOS PA design, RFIC design with on-chip components, and more worked examples with simulation results. By emphasizing working designs, this book practically transports you into the authors' own RFIC lab so you can fully understand the function of each design detailed in this book. Among the RFIC designs examined are RF integrated LC-based filters, VCO automatic amplitude control loops, and fully integrated transformer-based circuits, as well as image reject mixers and power amplifiers.

Inertial Navigation Systems Analysis by Kenneth Britting

Out-of-print for years, this highly sought-after volume, remains the most popular reference on inertial navigation systems analysis. Finally, this classic book is back in print and readily available to you. Authored by a pioneer in the field, this authoritative resource focuses on terrestrial navigation, but is also useful for air and sea applications. Packed with valuable, time-saving equations and models, the book helps engineers design optimal navigation systems by comparing the performance of the various types of system mechanizations. Although applications and technology have changed over the years, this book remains the best source for fundamental inertial navigation system knowledge, from notational conventions, reference frames, and geometry of the earth, to unified error analysis, self-alignment techniques, and the development of a system error model. This well-illustrated, timeless reference belongs on the shelf of every practicing engineer working in this area. Read More

Writing the book Understanding SIP Servlets 1.1 was really an easy decision for Kristoffer and I. We have both worked in SIP Servlet technology since the conception of the original SIP Servlet 1.0 specification in 2003 and have been engrossed in the technologies development since. We have seen major companies include the technology in their main product portfolios and also small, agile companies muscle their way into the game. When the Java Specification Request (JSR) 289 group was formed to create SIP Servlet 1.1 it brought together a great bunch of people to build onto an already successful technology. Whilst at one of the expert group meetings it became obvious that a book which would act as a companion to the specification was a really good idea. Not only would it serve as a great piece of complimentary text to help promote the technology but would also provide real world examples and code snippets to illustrate the technology being used. It's true to say that not all followers of technology are interested in reading through technical specifications. Its also true to say that the readers of core technical specifications like to see supplementary information and real world examples of the technology. Understanding SIP Servlets 1.1 provides reference material that appeals to a range of readers from the low level technical developer to the product marketer. Read More
