Joseph Nechvatal's Immersion Into Noise investigates multiple aspects of cultural noise by applying our audio understanding of noise to the visual, architectual and cognative domains. The author takes the reader through phenomenal aspects of the art of noise into algorithmic and network contexts, beginning in the Abside of the Grotte de Lascaux.

The receiver noise factor (noise figure) is the ratio of input signal-to-noise power ratio at the antenna terminals to the signal-to-noise power ratio at the output terminals of the receiver, when the input termination is at room temperature (290K). The average noise factor over the frequency range of interest for the particular case of AM and FM surveillance receivers is a measure of the amount of noise power added to a signal by the receiver, thereby degrading signal quality. The noise factor is usually expressed in decibels, it is commonly referred to as the noise figure. Five methods of measurement are given, and the method used will depend upon the test equipment available, the desired accuracy, and the time available to devote to the measurement. Noise figure is usually measured only for the linear parts of the receiver that precede the demodulator. For CW and AM receivers, this includes the RF and IF stages up to the second detector. For FM receiver this includes the RF and IF stages up to the first limiter stage. For receivers with a linear demodulator, such as a product detector, noise figure may be measured for the entire receiver from the antenna input terminals to the audio output terminals.

Fundamentals of Microwave and RF Design enables mastery of the essential concepts required to cross the barriers to a successful career in microwave and RF design. Extensive treatment of scattering parameters, that naturally describe power flow, and of Smith-chart-based design procedures prepare the student for success. The emphasis is on design at the module level and on covering the whole range of microwave functions available. The orientation is towards using microstrip transmission line technologies and on gaining essential mathematical, graphical and design skills for module design proficiency. This book is derived from a multi volume comprehensive book series, Microwave and RF Design, Volumes 1-5, with the emphasis in this book being on presenting the fundamental materials required to gain entry to RF and microwave design. This book closely parallels the companion series that can be consulted for in-depth analysis with referencing of the book series being familiar and welcoming. Key Features * A companion volume to a comprehensive series on microwave and RF design * Open access ebook editions are hosted by NC State University Libraries at https://repository.lib.ncsu.edu/handle/1840.20/36776 * 59 worked examples * An average of 24 exercises per chapter * Answers to selected exercises * Emphasis on module-level design using microstrip technologies * Extensive treatment of design using Smith charts * A parallel companion book series provides a detailed reference resource

Communication devices such as smart phones, GPS systems, and Bluetooth, are now part of our daily lives more than ever before. As our communication equipment becomes more sophisticated, so do the radios and other hardware required to enable that technology. Common radio architectures are required to make this technology work seamlessly. This resource describes practical aspects of radio frequency communications systems design, bridging the gap between system-level design considerations and circuit-level design specifications. Industry experts not only provide detailed calculations and theory to determine block level specifications, but also discuss basic theory and operational concepts. This resource also includes extensive, up-to-date application examples.
