"A complete overhaul of the highly successful 1995 book MMIC design, this text promises much to graduate students and engineers in high frequency electronics. The author team combines academic research and applications input from industry. Prominence is given in all chapters to practical applications of the components and technologies covered, whilst there are entirely new chapters on transceivers, multilayer techniques, CPW millimetre-wave ICs and integrated antennas."

"This paper presents new carrier-based and carrier-less ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter architectures and their CMOS implementation. The carrier-based transmitter designed using a0.18-μm CMOS process adopts a double-stage switching to enhance RF-power efficiency, reduce dc-power consumption and circuit complexity, and increase switching speed andisolation. Measurement results show that the generated UWB signal can vary from 2 V peak-to-peak with 3-dB 4-ns pulse width to 1 V with 0.5 ns, covering 10-dB signal bandwidths from 0.5to 4 GHz, respectively. The generated UWB signal can be tuned to cover the entire UWB frequency range of 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. The carrier-less transmitter integrates tuning delay circuit,square-wave generator, impulse-forming circuit, and pulse-shaping circuit in a single chip using a standard low-cost 0.25-μm CMOS process. It can generate monocycle pulse and Gaussian-type impulse (without the pulse-shaping circuitry) signals with tunable pulse duration. Measured results show that the carrier-less transmitter can produce 0.3?0.6 V peak-to-peak monocycle pulse with 140?350 ps tunable pulse-duration and 0.5?1.3 V peak-to-peak impulsesignal with 100?300 ps tunable pulse-duration."

"The capability approach of Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen places human capabilities at the centre stage of discussions about justice, equality, development and the quality of life. It rejects too much emphasis on mere preference satisfaction or resource provision and highlights the importance of human agency and freedom. This approach has already significantly influenced different fields of application, such as economics and development studies. Only recently have scholars started to explore its relevance for and application to the area of technology and design, which can be crucial factors in the expansion of human capabilities. How does technology influence human capabilities? What difference could a capability approach make to policies and practices of applying ICT in development processes in the South? How can we criticize and improve the design of technology from the perspective of the capability approach?The authors of this volume explore the implications of the capability approach for technology & design."

"Heterogeneous embedded systems, signal representations and different abstraction levels, architectures and components based on hardware and software, in all the main phases of design (modeling, validation with multiple models of computation, synthesis and optimization). It concentrates on the specific issues at the interfaces, and is divided into two main parts. The first part examines mainly theoretical issues and focuses on the modeling, validation and design techniques themselves. The second part illustrates the use of these methods in various design contexts at the forefront of new technology and architectural developments."

"Designing training for the Web shares many similarities with designing for the classroom environment, yet there are some significant differences as well. This Infoline shows you how to adapt your current preparation methods for e-learning. It translates the familiar ADDIE model of instructional design to Web-based training, so you can make the transition quickly and easily."
