A beginner's guide to electronics, programming, and microprocessing with Arduino. Assuming no prior knowledge, this book explains how to control components and read sensors. With hands-on lab activities, you'll learn to turn your project ideas into functional prototypes.
This is an introductory course textbook in electronics, programming, and microprocessing. It explains how to connect and control various electronic components, how to wire and read common types of sensors, and how to amplify, filter, and smooth sensor readings. This will allow the learner to start designing and building their own equipment for research projects. The course starts at a beginner level, assuming no prior knowledge in these areas. Programming and microprocessing are taught using the Arduino IDE. This book can serve as a stand-alone crash course for a self-motivated learner. It can also be directly adopted as a course textbook for an elective in a college, university, or high school context. Sections include various fun lab activities that increase in difficulty, and enough theory and practical advice to help complement the activities with understanding. Resources are provided to the instructor to organize the lectures, activities, and individual student design projects. These tools will help any reader turn their electronic project ideas into functional prototypes.
This book covers the measurement of optoelectronic components, focusing on the implementation of static electrical and optical characterization. It links these measurements to solid state physics and presents different LED technologies through detailed experimental analyses.
This book analyzes electromagnetic surface waves in microwave absorbing layers. Though these coatings have been used since WWII, their properties are not sufficiently studied. Demystifying a complex subject, this work is ideal for researchers, engineers, and students.
This book describes terahertz radiation’s interaction with materials from dielectrics to metals. It covers all types of terahertz sources and detectors, investigates the “terahertz gap,” and explores means of increasing the working frequency and output power of the devices.
This book describes wireless channels for mobile communication system design. It explains mobile propagation and analyses multi-path channel properties, validated by experiments. Topics include street cell design, antenna diversity, and SU/MU-MIMO channel models for 5G systems.
AI is reshaping how we live and work, revolutionizing healthcare and robotics. The potential for AI to drive innovation and solve complex problems is limitless, promising a future enriched by intelligent systems. However, the risks are notable and must be taken into account.
