"This book describes modern coherent receiving techniques for optical transmission and aspects of modern digital optical communications in the most basic lines. The chapters provide a fundamental understanding of advanced receiving techniques for transport in the optical and electric domains of multi-gigabits per second by coherent mixing in the optical domain, and then processing in the digital domain at the sampling speed of an extremely high rate....

Wireless communications allow high-speed mobile access to a global Internet based on ultra-wideband backbone intercontinental and terrestrial networks. Both of these environments support the carrying of information via electromagnetic waves that are wireless (in free air) or guided through optical fibers. Wireless and Guided Wave Electromagnetics: Fundamentals and Applications explores the fundamental aspects of electromagnetic waves in wireless media...
