Advanced Series In Circuits And Systems – serie

Network scattering parameters are powerful tools for the analysis and design of high frequency and microwave networks. A comprehensive review of network scattering parameters is given with detailed discussion of their application in the analysis of stability, input and output reflection coefficients, power gains and other network parameters. Generalised scattering parameters are introduced in later chapters. The aim of this book is to give a thorough working knowledge of scattering parameters and their application in circuit analysis and design. To this end numerous illustrative examples are given in each chapter. The book should prove to be a useful companion to practicing engineers, as well as, to students and teachers in the field of HF, microwaves and optics.

This book addresses the theoretical and practical circuit and system concepts that underpin the design of reliable and reproducible, high performance, monolithic feedback circuits. It is intended for practicing electronics engineers and students who wish to acquire an insightful understanding of the ways in which open loop topologies, closed loop architectures, and fundamental circuit theoretic issues combine to determine the limits of performance of analog networks. Since many of the problems that underpin high speed digital circuit design are a subset of the analysis and design dilemmas confronted by wideband analog circuit designers, the book is also germane to high performance digital circuit design.

The field of Artificial Neural Networks is the fastest growing field in Information Technology and specifically, in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.This must-have compendium presents the theory and case studies of artificial neural networks. The volume, with 4 new chapters, updates the earlier edition by highlighting recent developments in Deep-Learning Neural Networks, which are the recent leading approaches to neural networks. Uniquely, the book also includes case studies of applications of neural networks — demonstrating how such case studies are designed, executed and how their results are obtained.The title is written for a one-semester graduate or senior-level undergraduate course on artificial neural networks. It is also intended to be a self-study and a reference text for scientists, engineers and for researchers in medicine, finance and data mining.

The book should serve as a text for a university graduate course or for an advanced undergraduate course on neural networks in engineering and computer science departments. It should also serve as a self-study course for engineers and computer scientists in the industry. Covering major neural network approaches and architectures with the theories, this text presents detailed case studies for each of the approaches, accompanied with complete computer codes and the corresponding computed results. The case studies are designed to allow easy comparison of network performance to illustrate strengths and weaknesses of the different networks.

Artificial neural networks are most suitable for solving problems that are complex, ill-defined, highly nonlinear, of many and different variables, and/or stochastic. Such problems are abundant in medicine, in finance, in security and beyond.This volume covers the basic theory and architecture of the major artificial neural networks. Uniquely, it presents 18 complete case studies of applications of neural networks in various fields, ranging from cell-shape classification to micro-trading in finance and to constellation recognition — all with their respective source codes. These case studies demonstrate to the readers in detail how such case studies are designed and executed and how their specific results are obtained.The book is written for a one-semester graduate or senior-level undergraduate course on artificial neural networks. It is also intended to be a self-study and a reference text for scientists, engineers and for researchers in medicine, finance and data mining.

Written by an electrical engineer this book presents a novel approach in electric circuit theory which is based on interval analysis — an intensively developing branch or applied mathematics. Covering major topics in both circuit and system theory and their applications, it suggests a variety of methods that are suited for handling linear and nonlinear analysis problems in which some or all of the relevant data are given as intervals. Detailed algorithms of the interval methods presented are developed, enabling their easy implementation on computers. For the convenience of the reader a comprehensive survey of all the necessary interval analysis notions and techniques is provided in the introductory text. Most of the theoretical developments considered in the book are also clearly illustrated through numerical examples.

Circuit design is now carried out by computers using algorithms instead of tables, charts and rules of thumb. The book is an introduction to the computer-aided design of communication networks, based on a firm analytic foundation of circuit theory and numerical techniques. It provides design procedures and techniques of filters, broadband matching networks, compatible impedances, high-frequency amplifiers, diplexers and multiplexers. All programs are written in FORTRAN 77 and run by MS-FORTRAN 5.1 and WATFIV compilers on personal computers. A special feature of the book is that it bridges the gap between theory and practice, and algorithms and implementations. The level of the book is suitable for a senior elective or a circuit design course for the first-year graduate students as well as a reference book for practicing engineers.

This textbook is intended for a first-year graduate course on Artificial Neural Networks. It assumes no prior background in the subject and is directed to MS students in electrical engineering, computer science and related fields, with background in at least one programming language or in a programming tool such as Matlab, and who have taken the basic undergraduate classes in systems or in signal processing.The uniqueness of the book is in the breadth of its coverage over the range of all major artificial neural network approaches and in extensive hands-on case-studies on each and every neural network considered. These detailed case studies include complete program print-outs and results and deal with a range of problems, to illustrate the reader's ability to solve problems ranging from speech recognition, character recognition to control and signal processing problems, all on the basis of following the present text. Another unique aspect of the text is its coverage of important new topics of recurrent (time-cycling) networks and of large memory storage and retrieval problems.The text also attempts to show the reader how he can modify or combine one or more of the neural networks covered, to tailor them to a given problem which does not appear to fit any of the more standard designs, as is very often the case.
