Inspec the premier source for telecommunications research The Inspec Database has nearly 11 million records, containing abstracts and indexing to global literature covering physics, electrical and electronic engineering, computing and control, information technology, mechanical and production engineering. Its comprehensive coverage of telecommunications includes everything from information theory to the development of communications equipment and systems, and includes the closely-related fields of electromagnetic waves, antennas, internet, radar, radio and television. Information is available on topics such as: modulation techniques, speech, image and signal processing, protocols, packet switching, telephony, electronic mail, local area networks, mobile communications, satellite communications, optical fiber communications and manufacturing and testing equipment, as well as documenting the rapid changes in the field. Currently the database contains more than 900,000 records on telecommunications research, with a further 56,000 being added in the course of each year. The screenshots shown in this brochure are from Inspec Direct, the IET s own innovative and highly functional online platform. Topics covered include: n Antennas n Audio signals and systems n Bandwidth allocation n Codes and coding n Cognitive radio n Computer networks n Cryptography n Electromagnetic waves and fields n Filtering and prediction theory n Free space optical communications n High-definition TV n Image processing and recognition n Internet n IP networks n ISDN n Mobile radio n Modulation n Multi-access communications n Multimedia communication n Multiplexing n Optical fibre communications n Power line communications n Protocols n Radar n Radio and television broadcasting n Radio transmitters and receivers n Radionavigation n Radiowave propagation n Satellite communications n Semantic web n Signal processing n Speech processing and recognition n Subscriber loops n Switching systems n Teleconferencing n Telemetry n Telephony n Television n Video signals and systems n Voice mail n Wireless networks 2
