Before I can present design concepts or tactical wireless communications and network
challenges, I feel the need to mention the challenges of writing for a field where some
information is not available for public domain and cannot be included in this book’s context.
Another challenge is the use of military jargon and the extensive number of abbreviations
(and abbreviations of abbreviations!) in the field. Engineering books are naturally dry, and I
have attempted to make it light by presenting the concepts in layman’s terms before diving
into the technical details. I am structuring this book in such a way as to make it useful for
a specialized graduate course in tactical communications and networking, or as a reference
book in the field.
This chapter provides extensive coverage of existing mobile wireless technologies. Much of the
emphasis is on the highly anticipated 3G cellular networks and widely deployed wireless local
area networks (LANs), as the next-generation smart phones are likely to offer at least these two
types of connectivity. Other wireless technologies that either have already been commercialized or
are undergoing active research and standardization are introduced as well. Because standardization
plays a crucial role in developing a new technology and a market, throughout the discussion
standards organizations and industry forums or consortiums of some technologies are introduced.
In addition, the last section of this chapter presents a list of standards in the wireless arena.
This book deals with a very important problem in power system planning
for countries in which hydrogeneration accounts for the greatest part of the
system power production. During the past thirty years many techniques
have been developed to cope with the long-term operation of hydro reser-
voirs. These techniques have been discussed in a number of publications,
but they have not until now been documented in book form.

With global drivers such as better energy
consumption, energy efficiency and reduction of
greenhouse gases, CO 2 emission reduction has become
key in every layer of the value chain. Power Electronics
has definitely a role to play in these thrilling challenges.
From converters down to compound semiconductors,
innovation is leading to breakthrough technologies. Wide
BandGap, Power Module Packaging, growth of Electric
Vehicle market will game change the overall power
electronic industry and supply chain. In this presentation
we will review power electronics trends, from
technologies to markets.
Sound is simply an airborne version of vibration. The air which carries sound is a mixture
of gases. In gases, the molecules contain so much energy that they break free from
their neighbors and rush around at high speed. As Figure 1.1(a) shows, the innumerable
elastic collisions of these high-speed molecules produce pressure on the walls of any
gas container. If left undisturbed in a container at a constant temperature, eventually the
pressure throughout would be constant and uniform.
