Important new insights into how various components and systems evolved Premised on the idea that one cannot know a science without knowing its history, History of Wireless offers a lively new treatment that introduces previously unacknowledged pioneers and developments, setting a new standard for understanding the evolution of this important technology. Starting with the background-magnetism, electricity, light, and Maxwell's Electromagnetic Theory-this book offers new insights into the initial theory and experimental exploration of wireless. In addition to the well-known contributions of Maxwell, Hertz, and Marconi, it examines work done by Heaviside, Tesla, and passionate amateurs such as the Kentucky melon farmer Nathan Stubblefield and the unsung hero Antonio Meucci. Looking at the story from mathematical, physics, technical, and other perspectives, the clearly written text describes the development of wireless within a vivid scientific milieu. History of Wireless also goes into other key areas, including: <ul>
<li>The work of J. C. Bose and J. A. Fleming</li> <li>German, Japanese, and Soviet contributions to physics and applications of electromagnetic oscillations and waves</li> <li>Wireless telegraphic and telephonic development and attempts to achieve transatlantic wireless communications</li> <li>Wireless telegraphy in South Africa in the early twentieth century</li> <li>Antenna development in Japan: past and present</li> <li>Soviet quasi-optics at near-mm and sub-mm wavelengths</li> <li>The evolution of electromagnetic waveguides</li> <li>The history of phased array antennas</li> </ul>
Augmenting the typical, Marconi-centered approach, History of Wireless fills in the conventionally accepted story with attention to more specific, less-known discoveries and individuals, and challenges traditional assumptions about the origins and growth of wireless. This allows for a more comprehensive understanding of how various components and systems evolved. Written in a clear tone with a broad scientific audience in mind, this exciting and thorough treatment is sure to become a classic in the field.

Scanning arrays present the radar or communications engineer with the ultimate in antenna flexibility. They also present a multitude of new opportunities and new challenges that need to be addressed. In order to describe the needs for scanned array development, this book begins with a brief discussion of the history that led to present array antennas. This text is a compact but comprehensive treatment of the scanned array, from the underlying basis for array pattern behavior to the engineering choices leading to successful design. The book describes the scanned array in terms of radiation from apertures and wire antennas and introduces the effects resulting directly from scanning, including beam broadening, impedance mismatch and gain reduction and pattern squint and those effects of array periodicity including grating and quantization lobes and array blindness. The text also presents the engineering tools for improving pattern control and array efficiency including lattice selection, subarrray technology and pattern synthesis. Equations and figurers quantify the phenomena being described and provide the reader with the tools to tradeoff various performance features. The discussions proceed beyond the introductory material and to the state of the art in modern array design.

Among the best vivarium animals are the stunningly beautiful tree frogs, the subject of this book. This colorful and informative guide written by three renowned ranine experts focuses on the care of tree frogs but also covers important topics, from acclimating imported species to housing, feeding, and captive breeding. Popular Tree Frogs proves the most authoritative and reliable resource for keeping tree frogs healthy and thriving. Authors Philippe de Vosjoli, Robert Maillous, and Drew Ready provide guidelines for selecting and keeping the most popular species of tree frogs, highlighting White’s tree frogs and red-eyed tree frogs as well as white-lipped tree frogs, green tree frogs, Cuban tree frog, barking tree frog, gray tree frog, golden foam nest frogs, gliding tree frogs, and Australian red-eyed tree frogs. For each featured tree frog, the authors provide insight into size, longevity, care and maintenance, sexing, feeding, breeding, and more. This Advanced Vivarium Systems title includes information about selecting a healthy example, quarantine and acclimation considerations, housing needs, water and feeding, as well as solid advice about keeping tree frogs healthy. A separate chapter on diseases and disorders provides a complete primer on the health needs and veterinary care of these rewarding amphibians.
