Information Measurement

Based on the Fourth International Conference on Quantum Communication, Measurement and Computing, this volume brings together scientists working in the interdisciplinary fields of quantum communication science and technology. In contrast to the previous conferences in this series, which were mainly theoretical, QCH '98 devoted more attention to the experimental aspects. Topics include quantum information theory, quantum computing, quantum communication systems, cryptography, new quantum effects and their experiments, generation and detection of nonclassical light, quantum noise, stochastic processes and filtering, and quantum measurement theory.

Spacecraft TT&C and Information Transmission Theory and Technologies introduces the basic theory of spacecraft TT&C (telemetry, track and command) and information transmission. Combining TT&C and information transmission, the book presents several technologies for continuous wave radar including measurements for range, range rate and angle, analog and digital information transmissions, telecommand, telemetry, remote sensing and spread spectrum TT&C. For special problems occurred in the channels for TT&C and information transmission, the book represents radio propagation features and its impact on orbit measurement accuracy, and the effects caused by rain attenuation, atmospheric attenuation and multi-path effect, and polarization composition technology. This book can benefit researchers and engineers in the field of spacecraft TT&C and communication systems.
