Design, modifications, test, evaluation and analysis were made on a predistortion encoder, record equalizer, HDMR head, playback preamplifier, delay modulation detector, and computer tape transport. Performance and performance limits were analyzed and applied to the modulation and coding, tape and head-tape interface, and magnetic heads technologies. (Author).

As the most popular and authoritative guide to recording available, Modern Recording Techniques provides everything you need to master the tools and day-to-day practice of music recording and production. The sixth edition has been expanded to cover the latest digital audio technology and features a new section on surround sound. For those who are just starting out or are looking for their next job in the industry, this edition also provides essential advice on career options and networking. David Miles Huber's approachable writing style, coupled with over 500 technical diagrams, screen shots and product illustrations, makes this an essential resource which you will want to refer to again and again.

Techniques were investigated to apply the concept of holography to the problems of wideband digital recording and reproduction. The feasibility of recording at rates up to 2 Gb/s and playback at both full-record and reduced speeds was theoretically and experimentally considered. The program was a multi-phased effort including the design, development and experimental evaluation of two Exploratory Development Models (EDMs): the Phase I EDM demonstrated recording at 400 Mb/s and playback at 40 Mb/s, and was used to guide design trade-offs for Phase II; the Phase II EDM demonstrated recording at 600 Mb/s playback at full-record and 0 to 1 time expanded rates with bit-error-rates better than .000001. Both full-system operational testing and parametric evaluation on component basis were performed. This report describes design and performance data at both the system and the subsystem levels for the Phase II hardware. Also a part of this program was the development of conceptual designs for potential multi-gigabit recorders. These designs are presented, along with system and subsystem level trade-offs between the various concepts, and recommendations for subsequent development. Overall, this program has made available a new, high-speed, high-capacity information storage approach offering significant advantages over more conventional recording techniques. (Author).

Ultra-wideband (UWB) has been among the most controversial technologies of modern times. Its applications seem endless, its capabilities miraculous and yet it is so poorly understood. In this volume, the authors combine talents to de-mystify ultra-wideband radio and explain it in language that is accessible to non-technologists as well as technologists. They contrast UWB with conventional radio technology so that fundamental, technically accurate information devoid of specific technical and analytical details is accessible for marketing managers, business developers, engineering managers, technology managers, potential investors, financial analysts, executive recruiters, technical writers, and technologists from other fields. The authors also include enough specific technical and engineering information about UWB, for the seasoned technologists, engineers, scientists and academicians who need to understand the topic at an entry level. Provides simple high level, conceptual discussions of UWB followed with more detailed, scientific, mathematical, engineering focused explanations Presents a global perspective by tracing UWB throughout the history of radio, providing a modern basis for the re-emergence of the technology and for the current regulatory and standards activities Features insights into the reasons why the technology developed the way it did Explains the key advantages of UWB, including its bandwidth, potential simplicity and huge system capacity Discusses the applications of UWB in terms of the unique properties and advantages of UWB Ultra-wideband Radio Technology will inform, educate and inspire!...
