Satellite Radar Interferometry
Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) is an active remote sensing method that uses repeated radar scans of the Earth's solid surface to measure relative deformation at centimeter precision over a wide swath. It has revolutionized our understanding of the earthquake cycle, volcanic eruptions, landslides, glacier flow, ice grounding lines, ground fluid injection/withdrawal, underground nuclear tests, and other applications requiring high spatial resolution measurements of ground deformation. This book examines the theory behind and the applications of InSAR for measuring surface deformation. The most recent generation of InSAR satellites have transformed the method from investigating 10's to 100's of SAR images to processing 1000's and 10,000's of images using a wide range of computer facilities. This book is intended for students and researchers in the physical sciences, particularly for those working in geophysics, natural hazards, space geodesy, and remote sensing. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Analog Microelectronics
This textbook uses an innovative, fresh and rigorous approach to the analysis of analog circuits. The author guides students to leverage the psycho-cognitive concept of basic pattern as an efficient calculation tool, going beyond its traditional use for the qualitative visual inspection. In this journey, the reader is not left alone to face statements such as "it is easy to prove that" or "it has been proven elsewhere that". All formulas and theorems are proven step-by-step. In particular, the proofs of the theorems on frequency response and stability have been made as intuitive as possible. The author thus demystifies and makes available to the student these relevant theorems, which are usually scattered over decades of reading and/or in several textbooks and papers. Two chapters focus on exercises of increasing difficulty, most of them discussed fully and solved step-by-step, allowing students to strengthen and test their knowledge. Moreover, the first two chapters introduce the history of microelectronics and physics of fundamental electron devices.

High Performance Control of Dual Three-Phase PMSM
In recent years, multi-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors, especially dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors, have the advantages of higher output power, stronger fault tolerance and lower torque pulsation than the traditional three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors, and have been used in many demanding applications, such as military and new energy vehicles. Dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors have the three main characteristics of large output power under low-voltage operating conditions, high reliability and low torque pulsation compared with traditional three-phase motors. Although they provide more power and higher efficiency, they are also accompanied by the complexity and difficulty of control. The model predictive control method has become one of the main control strategies. However, as the number of phases of dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors increases, their models and control strategies become complex. These complexities not only make the control more difficult, but also may lead to the increase of harmonic currents, which increases the losses of the motor.
Force Estimation and Control in Human-Robot Interaction
The study of human-machine interaction as a unique control system has been one of the first research interests in engineering, with nearly a century having passed since the first works in the field. At the same time, it is a crucial aspect of the most recent technological developments in applications of fields such as collaborative robotics and artificial intelligence.The cross-domain nature characterizing this field of study can cause difficulties in finding a guiding line that links motor control theory, modeling approaches of physiological control systems, and identifying human-machine general control models. In this book, the author aims to find such a guiding line by exploring the existing scientific efforts in these fascinating technological scenarios and proposing a novel approach that could enhance human-robot collaboration and interaction. The book is an academic reference and a practical guide for researchers and students in robotics, control systems, and artificial intelligence. The goal is to offer a combination of foundational theory, methodological innovation, and real-world applications to provide the reader with the insights necessary to implement and put into practice state-of-the-art methodologies in robotic control systems.

Generalized Homogeneity in Systems and Control Volume I
This book is an introduction to the theory of homogeneous systems, useful for the simplification of many types of nonlinear control problems. It propounds methods that can be employed when linearization proves unsuitable and provides a unified approach to stability and robustness analysis, control and observer design, and system discretization. The second edition splits the coverage of homogeneity, allowing expanded coverage of finite-dimensional systems (in this book) and infinite-dimensional systems (in Volume II). The results are better systematized and easier for readers to study and assimilate. The first volume details the concepts of finite-time and fixed-time stability. Key features of the book include: mathematical models of dynamical systems in finite-dimensional spaces; the theory of linear dilations in Euclidean spaces; homogeneous control and estimation; extensively expanded and original chapters with entirely new treatments of digitization, safety-critical systems, neural networks, and multiagent control; simple methods for an upgrade of existing linear control laws; numerical schemes for a consistent digital implementation of homogeneous algorithms; and experimental results that confirm an improvement of PID controllers. Illustrative examples--numerical results, computer simulations, and real experiments--support all the theoretical material. The coverage of finite-dimensional systems presented in this book is of interest to graduate students of control theory from engineering and applied-mathematical backgrounds and to practising control engineers.
