The Designer’s Guide to High-Purity Oscillators presents a comprehensive theory and design methodology for the design of LC CMOS oscillators used in every wireless transmission system.  The authors introduce the subject of phase noise and osciallators from the very first principles, and carry the reader to a very intuitive circuit-driven theory of phase noise in LC osciallators.  The presented theory includes both thermal and flicker noise effects.  Based on Hegazi, Rael, and Abidi’s mechanistic theory, a sensible design methodology is gradually developed.  In addition, new top

An introduction to color in three-dimensional image processing and the emerging area of multi-spectral image processingThe importance of color information in digital image processing is greater than ever. However, the transition from scalar to vector-valued image functions has not yet been generally covered in most textbooks. Now, Digital Color Image Processing fills this pressing need with a detailed introduction to this important topic.In four comprehensive sections, this book covers:The fundamentals and requirements for color image processing from a vector-valued viewpointTechniques for pre

Like many people in America and around the world, Talal Asad experienced the events of September 11, 2001, largely through the media and the emotional response of others. For many non-Muslims, "the suicide bomber" quickly became the icon of "an Islamic culture of death"& mdash;a conceptual leap that struck Asad as problematic. Is there a "religiously-motivated terrorism?" If so, how does it differ from other cruelties? What makes its motivation "religious"? Where does it stand in relation to other forms of collective violence?Drawing on his extensive scholarship in the study of secular and rel
