Communication System Design Using DSP Algorithms: With Laboratory Experiments for the TMS320C6713 DSK



Steven A. Tretter "Communication System Design Using DSP Algorithms:
With Laboratory Experiments for the TMS320C6713 DSK "
Springer | 2008-01-04 | ISBN:0387748857 | 348 pages | PDF | 1,7 Mb


Designed for senior electrical engineering students, this textbook explores the theoretical concepts of digital signal processing and communication systems by presenting laboratory experiments using real-time DSP hardware. Originally designed for the Texas Instruments TMS320C6701 Evaluation Module or TMS320C6711 DSK, this new edition updates the experiments based on the TMS320C6713 (but can easily be adapted to other DSP boards). Each chapter begins with a presentation of the required theory and concludes with instructions for performing experiments to implement the theory. In the process of performing the experiments, students gain experience in working with software tools and equipment commonly used in industry.
The primary focus of this book is on communication systems. Algorithms that are particularly suited to DSP implementations are presented. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the software and hardware tools. Chapter 3 presents FIR and IIR digital filters and Chapter 4 investigates the FFT. Chapters 4 through 8 discuss modulators and demodulators for classical analog modulation methods such as amplitude modulation (AM), double-sideband suppressed-carrier amplitude modulation (DSBSC-AM), single sideband modulation (SSB), and frequency modulation (FM). Chapters 9 through 16 explore digital communication methods leading to the implementation of a complete telephone-line modem. These chapters include shift register pseudo-random binary sequence generators, the RS-232 protocol, pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) transmitters and receivers, and echo cancellation. Methods for adaptive equalization, carrier recovery, and symbol clock tracking are presented. Chapter 17 gives suggestions for additional experiments.

Handbook of Statistics 7: Quality Control and Reliability



Nicolette van Dijk "Handbook of Statistics 7: Quality Control and Reliability "
Elsevier | 1988-07-01 | ISBN:0444702903 | 504 pages | PDF | 21 Mb


Hardbound. This volume covers an area of statistics dealing with complex problems in the production of goods and services, maintenance and repair, and management and operations. The opening chapter is by W. Edwards Deming, pioneer in statistical quality control, who was involved in the quality control movement in Japan and helped the country in its rapid industrial development. He gives a program to keep a country in an ascending path of industrial development.

Areas covered in the further 23 chapters of the work include:
• reliability of hardware and process control software;
• the concepts and theory of reliability and the statistical inference problems arising therein;
• the aspects of Quality Control of manufactured goods.

Engineering Fundamentals of the Internal Combustion Engine



Willard W. Pulkrabek "Engineering Fundamentals of the Internal Combustion Engine"
Pearson Education | 2004-08-19 | ISBN: 0131918559 | 504 pages | PDF | 5,4 Mb

Review:
Pulkrabek manages to wrap up almost everything you actually need to know about internal combustion engines in an easily read textbook.
The only weaknesses are mostly related to a lack of focus on modern high power compression ignited engines. I would also like to know more about advanced technical solutions on modern engines, like variable valve lift and timing.

Fundamentals of HVAC Systems

The book explains:
The objectives to be achieved by a system in terms of environmental control.
The description of a system - including primary equipment, means of distribution, space and load
determination, and operating strategy.
The basic function of components that form HVAC systems.
The layout and functioning of common HVAC systems, including all-air systems, air-water systems, and all-water systems.
The strategies for operating systems and their basic means of control.
Identifying the most suitable type of system for different types of application
* Air-conditioning is a major industry and growing. Shows how systems operate and how to select, design and operate them efficiently to minimise installation cost and ongoing energy cost
* Endorsed by, and developed with ASHRAE, the leading trade body and recognised technical experts
* Provides a thorough introduction to how HVAC systems function in controlling temperature, air quality, and air circulation in a controlled space

Hvac Fundamentals



Samuel C. Sugarman "Hvac Fundamentals"
Fairmont Press | 2004-11 | ISBN: 0881734896 | 300 pages | PDF | 2,3 Mb

This master volume covers the full range of HVAC systems used in today's facilities. Comprehensive in scope, the text is intended to provide the reader with a clear understanding of how HVAC systems operate, as well as how to select the right system and system components to achieve optimum performance and efficiency for a particular application.

You'll learn the specific ways in which each system, subsystem or component contributes to providing the desired indoor environment, as well as what factors have an impact on energy conservation, indoor air quality and cost. Examined in detail are compressors, water chillers, fans and fan drives, air distribution and variable air volume, pumps and water distribution, controls and their components, heat recovery, and energy conservation strategies. Also covered are heat flow fundamentals, as well as heat flow calculations used in selecting equipment and determining system operating performance and costs.

Brain-Machine Interface Engineering (Synthesis Lectures on Biomedical Engineering)



Brain-Machine Interaction provides a unique framework for understanding the motivation and techniques of applying signal processing methodologies to brain-machine interaction (BMI) design and experimentation. Each chapter begins with a historical perspective and motivating example illustrating the need for this approach in BMI design. Included in each chapter is a list of assumptions associated with each methodological choice and the impact on BMI performance. To validate and advance the state-of-the-art of BMI modeling design, model performance is discussed and how the proposed model represents the neural-to-motor mappings. Finally, the feasibility of building BMIs (technical and practical aspects) is developed in the context of digital computational hardware.
