-Titulo Original : Millimeter Wave Wireless Communications-Fabricante : Prentice Hall-Descripcion Original: The Definitive, Comprehensive Guide to Cutting-Edge Millimeter Wave Wireless Design “This is a great book on mmWave systems that covers many aspects of the technology targeted for beginners all the way to the advanced users. The authors are some of the most credible scholars I know of who are well respected by the industry. I highly recommend studying this book in detail.” Ali Sadri, Ph.D., Sr. Director, Intel Corporation, MCG mmWave Standards and Advanced Technologies Millimeter wave (mmWave) is today’s breakthrough frontier for emerging wireless mobile cellular networks, wireless local area networks, personal area networks, and vehicular communications. In the near future, mmWave applications, devices, and networks will change our world. In Millimeter Wave Wireless Communications, four of the field’s pioneers, including Theodore S. Rappaport, Robert W. Heath, Robert C. Daniels, and James N. Murdock, draw on their vast experience to empower engineers at all levels to succeed with mmWave. They deliver fundamental, end-to-end coverage of all aspects of future mmWave wireless communications systems. The authors explain new multi-Gigabit per second products and applications, mmWave signal propagation, analog and digital circuit design, mmWave antenna designs, and current and emerging wireless standards. They cover comprehensive mmWave wireless design issues for 60 GHz and other mmWave bands, from channel to antenna to receiver, introducing emerging design techniques that will be invaluable for research engineers in both industry and academia. Topics include Digital communication: baseband signal/channel models, modulation, equalization, error control coding, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) principles, and hardware architectures Radio wave propagation characteristics: indoor and outdoor channel models and beam combining Antennas/antenna arrays, including on-chip and in-package antennas, fabrication, and packaging Analog circuit design: mmWave transistors, fabrication, and transceiver design approaches Baseband circuit design: multi-gigabit-per-second, high-fidelity DAC and ADC converters Physical layer: algorithmic choices, design considerations, and impairment solutions; and how to overcome clipping, quantization, and nonlinearity Higher-layer design: beam adaptation protocols, relaying, multimedia transmission, and multiband considerations 60 GHz standardization: IEEE 802.15.3c for WPAN, Wireless HD, ECMA-387, IEEE 802.11ad, Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig) Review The most comprehensive book covering all aspects of 60 GHz/mm-Wave communication, from digital bits and signal processing all the way to devices, circuits, and electromagnetic waves.

-Titulo Original : Death March (2nd Edition)-Fabricante : Prentice Hall-Descripcion Original: Historically, all software projects have involved a certain degree of risk and pressure -- but many of the projects in todays chaotic business environment involve such intense pressure that they are referred to colloquially as death-march projects -- i.e., projects whose schedules are so compressed, and/or whose budgets, or resource (people) assignments are so constrained, that the only obvious way to succeed is for the entire team to work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no vacations until the project is finished. While the corporate goal of such projects is to overcome impossible odds and achieve miracles, the personal goal of the project manager and team members often shrinks down to mere survival: keeping ones job, maintaining some semblance of a relationship with ones spouse and children, and avoiding a heart attack or ulcer. This new and thoroughly-updated edition of Ed Yourdons book takes into account many of the changes that have taken place in the more than six years since the publication of the first edition. From the Back Cover Death March Second Edition The #1 guide to surviving doomed projects...Fully updated and expanded, with powerful new techniques! At an alarming rate, companies continue to create death-march projects, repeatedly! Whats worse is the amount of rational, intelligent people who sign up for a death-march projectsaeprojects whose schedules, estimations, budgets, and resources are so constrained or skewed that participants can hardly survive, much less succeed. In Death March, Second Edition, Ed Yourdon sheds new light on the reasons why companies spawn Death Marches and provides you with guidance to identify and survive death march projects. Yourdon covers the entire project lifecycle, systematically addressing every key issue participants face: politics, people, process, project management, and tools. No matter what your role--developer, project leader, line-of-business manager, or CxO--youll find realistic, usable solutions. This editions new and updated coverage includes: Creating Mission Impossible projects out of DM projects Negotiating your projects conditions: making the best of a bad situation XP, agile methods, and death march projects Time management for teams: eliminating distractions that can derail your project Critical chain scheduling: identifying and eliminating organizational dysfunction Predicting the straw that breaks the camels back: lessons from system dynamics Choosing tools and methodologies most likely to work in your environment Project flight simulators: wargaming your next project Applying triage to deliver the features that matter most When its time to walk away This isnt a book about perfectly organized projects in textbook companies. Its about your project, in your company. But you wont just recognize your reality: youll learn exactly what to do about it.
