A preface states the intent of the essay. Chapter 1 lays out the 3-D pixel bundle that forms the screen. Lasers send down light to a given turned on mirror with a turned on backing mirror. This creates a light burst at that pixel determined by RGB lasers on the screen sides. The next LCD mirror turns...

How cell phones and mobile communication may in many cases strengthen social cohesion.

Volume One of the Wireless Communications Design Handbook provides an in-depth look at interference problems in satellite communications. The material presented is from a satellite or spacecraft hardware point of view rather than from theoretical models. Each satellite subsystem is described in detail...

The need for controlling interference and limiting noise problems in wireless communications systems starts at the most fundamental levels of circuit design. When efficient approaches for noise control are implemented at the circuit level, it helps significantly to ensure the effective noise control...
