1. Low-Power Transmitters, General The subject of low-power transmitters has

always been a fascinating one for experimenters. They enable you to operate

your own radio station, broadcast music, control devices remotely without

wires, do surveillance work, eavesdrop on private conversations, and other

things such as remote sensing. Current Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) regulations allow the operation of very low-power unlicensed

transmitters subject to various restrictions. These restrictions generally

regulate operating range and frequency of operation, as well as possibly types

of emission and duration of transmissions. The effort entailed in the

construction of these devices will be well rewarded, and the knowledge and

1 Adaptive Antennas and Degrees of Freedom 1.1 INTRODUCTION The subject

of adaptive antenna systems has been explored extensively since the 1950s [1-

13]. The primary function of any adaptive nulling receive antenna system for

radar [14, 15] or communications [3-5] applications is to minimize (null) the

received power from one or more interference sources located in the antenna

field of view as depicted in Figure 1.1. In the case of a radar application, the

adaptive antenna system may need to suppress radar clutter 15 as well as to

cancel interference from intentional jamming or unintentional interference.

Additionally, the adaptive nulling system must have constraints that allow the

system to detect radar targets or to receive signals from desired

which is obtained by rectifying the line voltage, and therefore it will fluctuate

due to changes in the line voltage magnitude. Switched-mode DC-DC

Importance of Antennas in Mobile Systems and Recent Trends 1.1

INTRODUCTION Kyohei Fujimoto The first mobile communication system was

initiated in 1885 with wireless telegraph between trains and stations, and was

developed by Thomas Edison 1 . Telegraph signals were conveyed through the

trolley wires, which were electrostatically coupled with a metal plate installed

on the ceiling of the train. Edison also experimented with communication on a

vehicle in 1901 2 , using a thick cylindrical antenna placed on the roof of the

vehicle. Real mobile communication services started with wireless telegraph on

ships, developed in 1898 by Guglielmo Marconi, using long vertical wire

antennas in various forms such as T, inverted L, and umbrella shapes. Portable

multisite electroencephalography experiments by W. Grey Walter in the 1930s

1 , instrumentation for monitoring the physiological state of the brain has

undergone tremendous advances. Instrumentation, electrodes, and analysis

tools are continually being developed for the basic research as well as clinical

locate the focal origin of epilepsy with millimetric precision 2 and to control

prosthetic devices with thought alone 3 . Most of the advances made both

circuits are characterized by linear secondorder differential equations whose

solutions consist of the natural and the forced responses. We will consider both

In the case of the Android emulator, the processor is based on ARM (Advanced

RISC Machine). ARM is a 32-bit microprocessor architecture based on RISC

(Reduced Instruction Set Computer), in which design simplicity and speed is

achieved through a reduced number of instructions in an instruction set. The

emulator actually runs the Android version of Linux on this simulated

processor. PowerPCs supporting Apple Macs and SPARC chips supporting Sun

workstations are examples of RISC architectures. ARM is widely used in

handhelds and other embedded electronics where lower power consumption is

important. Much of the mobile market uses processors based on this

architecture. For example, Apple Newton is based on the ARM6 processor.

1 Introduction Digital systems and their design have evolved greatly over the

last four decades. Rising densities and speed have provided designers a huge

canvas to create complex digital systems. Present-day embedded systems use

single-chip microcontrollers. Contemporary microcontrollers are available with

8-, 16- and 32bit processing capability along with a peripheral set containing

ADC, timer/counter and networks (I 2 C, CAN, SPI, and UART). For most

applications the microcontroller-based board is adequate. For applications

where there is a need to integrate custom logic for faster control and

additional peripherals, the microcontroller or microprocessor board is

augmented by a FPGA or an application specific standard product (ASSP)

device.

method for monitoring electronic components in computer servers.

Conventional monitoring techniques implemented in mid-range and high-end

computer systems rely on low-speed low-resolution internal instrumentation

that produces low quality measurements of critical system parameters. The

poor quality measurements lead to degraded performance of diagnostic and

prognostic algorithms. The developed method is based on the capability of an

Processors are integrated circuit boards consisting of millions of transistors

forming electrical pathways through which electricity is channeled. They

consist of two main components: the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and the

Control Unit (CU). The ALU is where all the mathematical calculations and

logic-based operations are executed. The CU is where instruction code or

commands are loaded and carried out, and often sends information to the

Arithmetic Logic Unit for execution. Processors can have their integral

electronics arranged in different ways; this is referred to as the processor's

architecture or platform. Recall from Chapter 1, "Introduction to Linux," that

use limited and precious resources more efficiently. Conserving electricity and

making it a better energy source relies on the widespread adoption of the

power conversion process, which takes electricity from a source and converts it

to a form exactly suited to the electrical load. Electric motors consume more

than 60%of all electrical power in the United States. Adjustable-speed drives

applications. They can also reduce costs considerably. Power electronics allows

us to develop efficient speed and torque control of electric motors at low costs.

viewpoint of understanding how data are represented before they can be

processed by any digital system including a digital computer. It is one of the

most basic topics in digital electronics. In this chapter we will discuss different

number systems commonly used to represent data. We will begin the

discussion with the decimal number system. Although it is not important from

the viewpoint of digital electronics, a brief outline of this will be given to

explain some of the underlying concepts used in other number systems. This

will then be followed by the more commonly used number systems such as the

binary, octal and hexadecimal number systems. 1.1 Analogue Versus Digital

Chapter 1 Direct Current Direct current (dc) is a flow of electrical charge

carriers that always takes place in the same direction. This is what

distinguishes direct current from alternating current (ac). The current need not

always have the same magnitude, but if it is to be defined as dc, the direction

of the charge-carrier flow must never reverse. The Nature of DC Figure 1.1

illustrates four waveform graphs of current versus time. The graphs in Fig.

1.1A, B, and C depict dc because the current always flows in the same

direction, even though the amplitude (intensity) might change with time. The

rendition in Fig. 1.1D is not dc because the direction of current flow does not

remain constant. Current Current is a measure of the rate at which

system is familiar to everyone. This system uses the symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

7, 8, and 9. The decimal system also has a place-value characteristic. Consider

the decimal number 238. The 8 is in the 1s position or place. The 3 is in the

10s position, and therefore the three 10s stand for 30 units. The 2 is in the

100s position and means two loos, or 2,OO units. Adding 200 + 30 + 8 gives

the total decimal number of 238. The decimal number system is also called the

base 10 system. It is referred to as base 10 because it has 10 different

symbols. The base 10 system is also said to have a radix of 10. Radix and

base are terms that mean exactly the same thing. Binary

is best not to go overboard spending a small fortune on a great variety of

hand-held tools in the beginning. The tools mentioned so far are only

suggestions. You will probably save a great deal of money by adding tools only

as you need them. One of the most important tools to the electronics

enthusiast is the soldering iron. Do not get a soldering iron confused with a

soldering gun. Soldering guns have a pistol grip, and are intended primarily for

heavy-duty soldering applications. Their usefulness in the electronics field is

very limited because they can easily damage printed circuit boards

Environmental Progress in Electronics Products 1.1 Historical Perspective

The modern U.S. environmental movement began in the early 1960s with

the Clean Air Act, which was originally passed in 1963 and extended in

1970. It progressed further with the advent of Earth Day in 1970, the

Clean Water Act of 1972, and the establishment of the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA). During that time, many U.S. electronics

companies were still in the integrated manufacturing mode, when they

operated their own full-range facilities for printedcircuit board (PCB)

fabrication and assembly as well as sheet metal and plating shops. The

pieces, each called a data frame, and adds a customized header containing the

hardware destination and source address. This added information forms a sort

of capsule that surrounds the original message in much the same way that

engines, navigational devices, and other tools were attached to the lunar

modules of the Apollo project. These various pieces of equipment were useful

only during certain stages of space flight and were stripped off the module and

discarded when their designated stage was complete. Data traveling through

networks is similar. Figure 1.15 shows the Data Link layer with the Ethernet

miniaturization of electronic devices, combined with recent developments in

wearable computer technology, are leading to the creation of a wide range of

devices that can be carried by users in their pockets, or otherwise attached to

their bodies [13]. This can be seen as a continuation of a trend spearheaded

by the mobile phone, which over the last decades has become smaller and

more convenient for personalized operation. Alongside this trend, there have

been a number of body-centric communication systems for specialized

occupations, such as paramedics and firefighters, as well as continuing interest

them at a local computer store or wherever. It also means that all our

computers should be able to communicate wirelessly without configuring

much, if anything at all. Various agencies have been around for a very long

time to help govern the use of wireless devices, frequencies, standards, and

how the frequency spectrums are used. Table 12.1 shows the current agencies

that help create, maintain, and even enforce wireless standards worldwide.

Even when the power is disconnected, certain components (capacitors) still

retain substantial levels of voltage for an extended period of time. Capacitors

work like batteries. Yes, they can maintain 50,000 volts! If you inadvertently

short one of the capacitors, a large discharge will occur into the monitor

circuits, destroying them. If youre touching the metal frame, you could fry

yourselfto death. Given this risk, certain aspects of monitor repair fall outside

the necessary skill set for a standard PC support person, and defi nitely outside

the CompTIA A+ certifi cation exam domains. Make sure you understand the

problems you can fi x safely and the ones you need to hand over to a qualifi ed

1 INTRODUCTION AND SURVEY OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM How

does electromagnetic theory tie together such broad phenomena as

electronics, radio waves, and light? Explaining this question in the context of

electronics design is the main goal of this book. The basic philosophy of this

book is that by developing an understanding of the fundamental physics, you

can develop an intuitive feel for how electromagnetic phenomena occur.

Learning the physical foundations serves to build the confidence and skills to

tackle real-world problems, whether you are an engineer, technician, or

physicist. The many facets of electromagnetics are due to how waves behave

at different frequencies and how materials react in different ways to waves of

different frequency.
