Residential property prices are affected by property-specific properties. Despite most homebuyers spend a large amount of their incomes on residential properties, very little academic literature exists to enable an objective evaluation of the property-specific quality of a residential unit and the price for that. Architectural attributes are easy to quantify, but there is no simple tool to enable quantitative measurement of environmental quali...

Improving the performance of the power amplifier is the most pressing problem facing designers of modern radio-frequency (RF) transceivers. Linearity and power efficiency of the transmit path are of utmost importance, and the power amplifier has proven to be the bottleneck for both. High linearity enables transmission at the highest data rates for a given channel bandwidth, and power efficiency prolongs battery lifetime in portable units and r...
