Electronic Music from Scratch is a complete crash course in the joys of musical circuitry. Taking inspiration from famous instruments in electronic music history, this guide shows readers how to create dozens of whimsical, unexpected, and incredibly usable musical instruments. Create oscillators that compose their own melodies based on candle flickers, cassette players with keyboard attachments, a talkbox for scaring younger relatives, and so, so much more. Written with total beginners in mind, Electronic Music from Scratch will take readers on a journey through music history and lead them to discover sounds they didn't even know existed. The first section of this book is dedicated to understanding what electronic music is culturally and how it works scientifically. Part II of this book is all about getting your feet wet with some basic electronic prototypes. We’ll learn what electronic components do, how to use them in a simple musical setting, and some simple variations. We’ll show you how to build a light-sensitive theremin, a talkbox so you can sound like a robot, a pocket-sized amplifier, a working plate reverb, an electronic cricket, and oh, so much more. Along the way, we’ll explain the processes of prototyping, soldering, building enclosures, and reading schematics—all necessary steps on the way to building the electronic instrument of your dreams.

Welcome to the fourteenth edition. Over the fifty plus years since the first edition in 1968, the revisions have typically involved adding additional content based on the changes in curriculum. This new fourteenth edition is more about refining and updating content to provide a revision that ensures that the most current and relevant content is provided. Updated with the most current, relevant content, the 14th Edition places greater emphasis on fundamentals and has been redesigned with a more modern, accessible layout. Topics requiring a solid understanding of Power Factor, Lead and Lag concepts have been significantly enhanced throughout the text. The TI 89 Titanium calculator continues to be the choice for this text, and we have provided sufficient detail in the text to perform all the mathematical techniques required without having to refer to the calculator manual provided. In some cases, short-cut methods are introduced that are helpful in what they can perform in the shortest of time. In every respect we feel the TI-89 will serve the student well in their current studies and those to follow. Miniaturization has resulted in huge advances in electronic systems. For example, advancement in this technology has allowed cell phones that originally were the size of notebooks to now be smaller than a deck of playing cards. These so-called smartphones (devices), such as an iPhone, provide a multitude of extremely desirable features, in addition to being able to make simple telephone calls. Such features include a multi-touch glass capacitive screen, mp3 music player (iPod capability), web browser, email, text messaging, calendar and contacts, mobile game player, facial recognition, etc.

Design and make your own microcontroller board using the same chip that powers the popular Raspberry Pi Pico. KiCad is an amazing piece of free and open-source software that allows anyone, with some time and effort, to make high-quality PCB designs. Couple this amazing software with numerous PCB fabrication companies and even PCBA services (companies that will make and assemble your PCB designs) and there's never been a better time to get into this aspect of making. This book provides a gentle introduction to PCB design using the RP2040 microcontroller chip (the same chip that's at the heart of the Raspberry Pi Pico). You'll learn how to create a schematic for a microcontroller board using the RP2040, from assigning schematic symbols to creating a footprint for individual components. You'll quickly move on to laying out the PCB design and preparing it for manufacture! That's right–after your board is designed, this book will show you how to send it off to be manufactured and assembled. You'll find out about the various materials (or substrates) you can choose for your board, and learn how to pick the right manufacturer. Once you have your board in hand, you'll also learn what you can do (and make!) with it, and there will be plenty of ideas for expansions, such as motor drivers.

Discover current design practices and performance metrics in this comprehensive guide to the latest methods of developing MIMO antenna systems. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna systems use multiple sets of antennas to increase the capacity of a radio link, or to send and receive multiple simultaneous data signals over the same radio channel. It's become an increasingly integral part of wireless and mobile data networks, from the earliest generations of wireless internet to cutting-edge 5G systems. The coming 6G networks will also rely on 6G antenna systems, making it all the more critical for the next generation of engineers and antenna designers to have a firm grasp of this foundational technology. MIMO Antenna Systems for 5G and Beyond offers a timely introduction to these systems and their design principles. Incorporating the latest designs and a comprehensive overview of current system configurations, it provides complete design procedures and performance metrics for MIMO systems. The result is a one-stop shop for all MIMO applications and wireless standards. MIMO Antenna Systems for 5G and Beyond is ideal for practicing engineers, as well as researchers in wireless and radio engineering sectors.

These days the term Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is used when referring to an operating system designed for use in embedded microprocessors or controllers. The “Real Time” part refers to the ability to implement applications that can rapidly responding to external events in a deterministic and predictable manner. RTOS-based applications have to meet strict deadline constraints while meeting the requirements of the application. One way of ensuring that urgent operations are handled reliably is to set task priorities on each task and to assign higher priorities to those tasks that need to respond in a more timely manner.

This book covers extensively the physical implementation of qubits and quantum architecture. The author demonstrates how quantum computing is implemented by the underlying physical implementation of qubits, including trapped ions, nitrogen vacancy centers, frozen neon, and other implementations. The book shows how, ultimately, the physical implementation of the qubit is the foundation of quantum computing, and that the choice of physical qubit will impact such things as decoherence times, computational efficiency, and even error rate. The book explores all the current approaches to physical qubit implementation and includes appendices that review basic quantum computing and physics. This book does assume some basic knowledge of quantum computing. For those readers who lack that knowledge, appendices are provided. Appendix 1 covers the basics of quantum physics and quantum computing. Appendix 2 covers essential math needed to understand quantum computing. Many readers won’t need the material in these appendices, thus they are provided as appendices rather than chapters.
