This book gives a complete overview of the scientific and engineering aspects of radio and radar pertaining to studies of the Earth environment. The book opens with an analysis of wire antennas, antenna arrays, and aperture antennas suitable for radar applications. Following a treatment of sources of noise, the book moves on to give a detailed presentation of the most important scattering mechanisms exploited by radar. It then provides an overview of basic signal processing strategies, including coherent and incoherent strategies. Pulse compression, especially binary phase coding and frequency chirping, are then analyzed, and the radar range-Doppler ambiguity function is introduced. This is followed by a comprehensive treatment of radio wave propagation in the atmosphere and ionosphere. The remainder of the book deals with radar applications. The book will be valuable for graduate students and researchers interested in antenna and radar applications across the Earth and environmental sciences and engineering.

H Robust design is an advancing technology which aims to achieve the system design purpose under intrinsic random fluctuation and external disturbance. This book introduces several robust design methods, some of which include linear to nonlinear systems and frequency to time domain. This book provides not only a complete theoretical development and application of H robust design over the last three decades, but also an integrated platform for control, signal processing, communication, systems and synthetic biology. Based on the theoretical H robust design results, the authors also give some practical design examples to illustrate the procedure and validate the performance of the proposed H method with computational simulations and tables.

This research monograph has the following main theme. Given an interpolation function, which is supposed to determine an estimate of the unknown signal value, the reader can use the traditional approach (traditional interpolation function) to estimate the numerical value of the signal. Alternatively, the reader can follow the theoretical developments offered in the book and so design, on the basis of the unified theory described in the book, three new interpolation functions with improved approximation capabilities. That means, that under the unified theory, the book offers three new classes of interpolation functions with improved approximation capabilities of the true and unknown signal to estimate. These works were published in the year 2011 and submitted for peer review and they are now presented to the public through this new publication. There are likely to be three main types of readership of this research monograph. The primary readership is composed of users of libraries which may adopt the book as reference. The secondary readership is composed of the population of instructors/professors of a course in one of applied mathematics, signal-image interpolation, signal-image processing, biomedical imaging and/or biomedical engineering academic disciplines. In such case, the book can be used as an additional educational resource to be available both to undergraduate and graduate students, in order to assign homework and/or projects to be included in the coursework. The tertiary readership is composed of apprentices and/or passionate of math. In such case, the book would be used to employ time while following the desire of intellectual enrichment. The apprentices and/or passionate of math would study the methodology of the unified theory, would apply the unified theory such to design new interpolation functions, and should there be the desire of furthering the interest, the apprentice and/or passionate would proceed further to the analysis of the results, and possibly into the discussion and the dissemination of the knowledge made out of this book.

This book aims to serve as an introductory text on algebraic coding theory. The contents are suitable for a final year undergraduate and beginning graduate course in Electrical Engineering. The material will give the reader knowledge of coding fundamentals essential for a deeper understanding of state-of-the-art coding systems. This book will also serve as a quick reference for students or practitioners who have not been exposed to the topic, but need it for specific applications such as cryptography and communications. The book will cover linear error-correcting block codes from elementary principles, going through cyclic codes and then covering some finite field algebra, Goppa codes, algebraic decoding algorithms and applications in public-key cryptography and private-key cryptography. Three appendices will cover the Gilbert bound and some related derivations, a derivation of the Mac Williamsa identities based on the probability of undetected error, and the finite field Fourier transform and the Euclidean algorithm for polynomials."
