Sommario/riassunto

"Long portrayed as a masculine endeavor, the African American struggle for progress often found expression through an unlikely literary figure: the black girl. Nazera Sadiq Wright uses heavy archival



research on a wide range of texts about African American girls to explore this understudied phenomenon. As Wright shows, the figure of the black girl in African American literature provided a powerful avenue for exploring issues like domesticity, femininity, and proper conduct. The characters' actions, however fictional, became a rubric for African American citizenship and racial progress. At the same time, their seeming dependence and insignificance allegorized the unjust treatment of African Americans. Wright reveals fascinating girls who, possessed of a premature knowing and wisdom beyond their years, projected a courage and resiliency that made them exemplary representations of the project of racial advance and citizenship"--Publisher description.

Sommario/riassunto

This comprehensive, hands-on review of the most up-to-date techniques in RF and microwave measurement combines microwave circuit theory and metrology, in-depth analysis of advanced modern instrumentation, methods and systems, and practical advice for professional RF and microwave engineers and researchers. Topics covered include microwave instrumentation, such as network analyzers, real-time spectrum analyzers and microwave synthesizers; linear measurements, such as VNA calibrations, noise figure measurements, time domain reflectometry and multiport measurements; and non-linear measurements, such as load- and source-pull techniques, broadband signal measurements, and non-linear NVAs. Each technique is discussed in detail and accompanied by state-of-the-art solutions to the unique technical challenges associated with its use. With each chapter written by internationally recognised experts in the field, this is an invaluable resource for researchers and professionals involved with microwave measurements.
