Low Power UWB CMOS Radar Sensors deals with the problem of designing low cost CMOS radar sensors. The radar sensor uses UWB signals in order to obtain a reasonable target separation capability, while maintaining a maximum signal frequency below 2 GHz. This maximum frequency value is well within the reach of current CMOS technologies. The use of UWB signals means that most of the methodologies used in the design of circuits and systems that process narrow band signals, can no longer be applied. Low Power UWB CMOS Radar Sensors provides an analysis between the interaction of UWB signals, the antennas and the processing circuits. This analysis leads to some interesting conclusions on the types of antennas and types of circuits that should be used. A methodology to compare the noise performance of UWB processing circuits is also derived. This methodology is used to analyze and design the constituting circuits of the radar transceiver. In order to validate the design methodology a CMOS prototype is designed and experimentally evaluated.

This book is dedicated to the analysis of parametric amplification with special emphasis on the MOS discrete-time implementation. This implementation is demonstrated by the presentation of several circuits where the MOS parametric amplifier cell is used: small gain amplifier, comparator with embedded pre-amplification, discrete-time mixer/IIR-Filter, and analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Experimental results are shown to validate the overall design technique.

A man dies on earth for acting as a hero, and goes to heaven meets a female becomes friends and the day comes as she sent to earth while he given another chance by this time but he has a mission to fulfill. While on Earth, their journey begins as they live different lives, and beliefs. Not knowing each other as their fate changes when the clashes with Christians, Pagans, and the Occult struggle to live with another in the same town. Caution the people in the story will speak to you, as you read this book.

Belord's kingdom is plagued by the prophecy of the Final Battle. The day will come when good and evil will join forces with humans to fight for the last time. The capital goes through difficult times after the death of its beloved king and with each passing day the evil grows stronger and the prophecy is about to be fulfilled.

There really is no clean way to say this, so here goes: for as long as I can remember I have always loved animals, sex and music, especially percussion. In fact, I have been told I jerk harder than Seinfeld's Elaine Benes when I'm shaking my booty to a decent beat. Anyway, it is therefore no surprise that I steered my career into working with sharks and other marine animals, while keeping a private side business selling seductive lingerie and a few other toys -- of the adult nature -- and also occasionally playing my drums with friends. It's not easy to explain how all this came to be. There really was no master plan at the onset and I certainly didn't imagine I'd be doing half of the stuff I did over the years back in the days I was thinking about my future. I certainly didn't imagine my first marriage would open before it ended, nor did I imagine I'd be marrying Princess Leia in Vegas and I certainly didn't imagine I'd be sitting down to tell a whole lot of stories, some involving sharks, some planes, some stockings, some boats, some public aquaria, and some ball-gags and leather restraints, among many other things. But that is the way things happened and these pages kind of explain how all the pieces fit in the puzzle.

The idea of using soccer game for promoting science and technology of artificial intelligence and robotics was presented in the early 90s of the last century. Researchers in many different scientific fields all over the world recognized this idea as an inspiring challenge. Robot soccer research is interdisciplinary, complex, demanding but most of all, fun and motivational. Obtained knowledge and results of research can easily be transferred and applied to numerous applications and projects dealing with relating fields such as robotics, electronics, mechanical engineering, artificial intelligence, etc. As a consequence, we are witnesses of rapid advancement in this field with numerous robot soccer competitions and a vast number of teams and team members. The best illustration is numbers from the RoboCup 2009 world championship held in Graz, Austria which gathered around 2300 participants in over 400 teams from 44 nations. Attendance numbers at various robot soccer events show that interest in robot soccer goes beyond the academic and R
