Data Transmission in Digital Video Broadcasting Systems
This book deals with the broadcasting of both global and local content in terrestrial television systems. Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is a widely adopted standard for terrestrial television transmission, delivering both global and local content. While global content is network-wide, local content is region-specific and typically requires additional spectrum when transmitted using separate frequencies. To enhance spectral efficiency and cost-effectiveness, hierarchical modulation within a Single Frequency Network (SFN) enables both content types to be embedded into a single constellation and transmitted simultaneously. Additionally, a Selected Subcarrier (SS) technique is proposed where only a subset of orthogonal carriers transmits local content, avoiding interference with global content while allowing flexible regional broadcasting. Collectively, these innovations offer a robust, spectrally efficient solution for advanced DVB systems, enabling improved coverage and adaptability for both local and global content delivery.
Nonlinear Distortion in Modern Communication Systems
Nonlinear distortion is a major challenge in modern communication systems, appearing as harmonic distortion, gain compression, intermodulation, and adjacent channel interference. OFDM, widely used for its high data rates and robustness, suffers from a high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR), pushing power amplifiers into nonlinear operation. This research includes mathematical modeling and MATLAB simulations of OFDM transceivers using QPSK and QAM with varying subcarriers. Results show that 4-QAM has 1 dB higher PAPR than QPSK. Linearization of Class B solid-state power amplifiers via feedback, feedforward, and digital predistortion (DPD) was studied, with DPD offering the best performance-0 dBm amplitude reduction and 20 dB ACPR suppression at 10 MHz. To reduce PAPR, techniques like clipping and filtering, SLM, PTS, and SC-FDMA were analyzed. IFDMA achieved the lowest PAPR of 0.4 dB, followed by SLM (4.4 dB), PTS (4.3 dB), and clipping/filtering (1.9 dB). While IFDMA yields excellent results with slight complexity, clipping/filtering is simple but affects spectral purity and BER.

Principals of Digital Communication Systems
Communication has been one of the deepest needs of the human race throughout recorded history. It is essential to forming social unions, to educating the young, and to expressing a myriad of emotions and needs. Good communication is central to a civilized society. The various communication disciplines in engineering have the purpose of providing technological aids to human communication. One could view the smoke signals and drum rolls of primitive societies as being technological aids to communication, but communication technology as we view it today became important with telegraphy, then telephony, then video, then computer communication, and today the amazing mixture of all of these in inexpensive, small portable devices. Initially these technologies were developed as separate networks and were viewed as having little in common. As these networks grew, however, the fact that all parts of a given network had to work together, coupled with the fact that different components were developed at different times using different design methodologies, caused an increased focus on the underlying principles and architectural understanding required for continued system evolution.

Economics of Renewable Energy
Renewable energy (RE) technologies' market is on the rise, and the world is witnessing a new energy transition with many factors and drivers pushing it. To properly understand this phenomenon, it is vital to apprehend the correlation between the development of economies and the different energy transitions through history. It is also important to understand the rationale behind the current transition to renewables and their economy; this book presents and discusses both points. The histories of energy transitions, development of economies and industrial civilizations, all go hand in hand. Going back in time, people only needed to cover their basic needs, such as food, which -at the very beginning- was met by using firewood for cooking and heating. Further in time, people star-ted practicing agriculture in the first formed human communities, essentially depending on the sun for that practice, in combination with biomass. As economies evolved and developed into complex forms, firewood and other biomass were no longer able to meet the increasing demand in energy. So, people started turning into hydropower, then to coal during the 19th century.
IoT Security using KVS Approach
In the realm of IoT security, the KVS Approach, a B cell concept, inspired by the human immune system, offers a novel approach to threat detection and mitigation. Just as B cells in the body recognize and neutralize specific pathogens, this KVS Approach, bio-inspired model utilizes a network of "digital B cells" to identify and respond to malicious activities targeting IoT devices and networks. These digital B cells are trained on normal network behavior and device profiles, enabling them to detect deviations that signify potential attacks. KVS (Kutubuddin, Vahida, Sultana) Approach proves particularly valuable in the dynamic and resource-constrained environment of IoT, where traditional security measures may be insufficient to address the evolving threat landscape.
