Signals, Systems, Transforms, and Digital Signal Processing with MATLAB® has as its principal objective—simplification without compromise of rigor. After illustrating the analysis of a function through a step-by-step addition of harmonics, the book deals with Fourier and Laplace transforms. It covers discrete time signals and systems, the z transform, continuous- and discrete-time filters, active and passive filters, lattice filters, and continuousand discrete-time state space models. Next, the author goes on to discuss the Fourier transform of sequences, the discrete Fourier transform, and the fast Fourier transform, followed by Fourier-, Laplace, and z-related transforms, including Walsh–Hadamard, generalized Walsh, Hilbert, discrete cosine, Hartley, Hankel, Mellin, fractional Fourier, and wavelet. Surveying the architecture and design of digital signal processors, computer architecture, logic design of sequential circuits, and random signals, the book concludes by simplifying and demystifying the vital subject of distribution theory. Drawing on much of the author’s own research work, this book expands the domains of existence of the most important transforms and thus opens the door to a new world of applications using novel, powerful mathematical tools.
This book provides a detailed analysis of fuzzy set images in image processing and examines the fundamentals of the fuzzy set theory for carrying out associated calculations.

Electronics: Basic, Analog, and Digital with PSpice does more than just make unsubstantiated assertions about electronics. Compared to most current texts on the subject, it pays significantly more attention to essential basic electronics and the underlying theory of semiconductors. In discussing electrical conduction in semiconductors, the author addresses the important but often ignored fundamental and unifying concept of electrochemical potential of current carriers, which is also an instructive link between semiconductor and ionic systems at a time when electrical engineering students are increasingly being exposed to biological systems. The text presents the background and tools necessary for at least a qualitative understanding of new and projected advances in microelectronics. The author provides helpful PSpice simulations and associated procedures (based on schematic capture, and using OrCAD® 16.0 Demo software), which are made available for download. These simulations are explained in considerable detail and integrated throughout. The book includes practical, real-world examples, problems, and other supplementary material, which help to demystify concepts and relations. With its focus on fundamental physical concepts and thorough exploration of the behavior of semiconductors, this book enables readers to better understand how electronic devices function and how they are used. The book’s foreword briefly reviews the history of electronics and its impact in today’s world. Contents Basic Diode Circuits. Basic Principles of Semiconductors. pn Junction and Semiconductor Diodes. Semiconductor Fabrication. Field Effect Transistors. Bipolar Junction Transistor. Two-Port Circuits, Amplifiers, and Feedback. Single-Stage Transistor Amplifiers. Multistage and Feedback Amplifiers. Differential and Operational Amplifiers. Power Amplifiers and Switches.

This accessible resource discusses conformity assessment and accreditation as defined in a new set of standards by the ISO/IEC. Written by a licensed professional engineer with more than 25 years of experience, the book brings together material specific to international, regional, national, state, and company levels. It covers important terminologies in standards, conformity assessment, and accreditation; covers economic, trade, legal, government, and management aspects; and includes some little known historical background on several selected topics. The book also contains website and literature references on organizations and their methods of standards development. Catalog no. K10074, 2009, 232 pp., Soft Cover ISBN: 978-1-4398-0094-2, $139.95 / £85.00
Entrepreneurship for Engineers Kenji Uchino The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA
Written by an electrical engineer with more than 20 years of successful business experience, this book covers every aspect engineers must master to become savvy entrepreneurs. The author begins with an exploration of the Industrial Evolution, where he theorizes how small corporations will begin to take the industrial lead position, much like the evolution from huge brontosaurus to small mammal. He then covers the fundamentals of global economies, accounting, finance, and quantitative business analysis. He also answers frequently asked questions such as how to start up a company, create product lines, collect venture capital, and keep cash flowing. Catalog no. K10053, January 2010, 366 pp. Soft Cover, ISBN: 978-1-4398-0063-8 $49.95 / £31.99
