The field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), particularly micromachinedmechanical transducers, has been expanding over recent years, and the productioncosts of these devices continue to fall. Using materials, fabrication processes, anddesign tools originally developed for the microelectronic circuits industry, newtypes of microengineered device are evolving all the time—many offering numerousadvantages over their traditional counterparts. The electrical properties of siliconhave been well understood for many years, but it is the mechanical properties thathave been exploited in many examples of MEMS. This book may seem slightlyunusual in that it has four editors. However, since we all work together in this fieldwithin the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton,it seemed natural to work together on a project like this. MEMS are nowappearing as part of the syllabus for both undergraduate and postgraduate coursesat many universities, and we hope that this book will complement the teaching thatis taking place in this area.

Abstract-The effect of the companding process on QAM signals
has been under investigation for the past several years. The
compander, included in the PCM telephone network to improve
voice performance, has an unusual affect on digital QAM data
signals which are transmitted over the same channel. The quantization
noise, generated by the companding process which is multiplicative
(and asymmetric), degrades the detectability performance
of the outermost points of the QAM constellation more
than that of the inner points.
The combined effect of the companding noise and the inherent
white gaussian noise of the system, leads us to a re-examination of
signal constellation design.
In this paper we investigate the detectability performance of a
number of candidates for signal constellations including, a typical
rectangular QAM constellation, the same constellation with the
addition of a smear-desmear operation, and two new improved
QAM constellation designs with two-dimensional warpi
