	Lasers and their applications – under the direction of Pascal Besnard and Pierre-Noël Favennec [Published in December 2010] Fifty years after it was invented, the laser is present both in our day to day life and in cutting-edge research. This work is the result of a cycle of conferences organized by the ENSSAT (Lannion) and the CNRS Foton laboratory, and provides an overview of laser applications in telecommunications, medicine, metrology, aerospace and ICT. One of its specific features is that a large part of it is devoted to an industrial approach to lasers, thanks to the collaboration of several authors from the business world.
	From software-defined radio to cognitive radio - under the direction of Jacques Palicot [Published in December 2010] Cognitive radio is an evolution of software-defined radio and is today an essential component in the radio-communications world, allowing devices to choose the best communication conditions simply by modifying the embedded software. This work involved around fifteen researchers and provides the keys to understanding this field, from its mathematical formalism to the hardware and software architectures via methodology, tools, platforms and standardization.
	Reverberation rooms in electromagnetism - By Bernard Démoulin and Philippe Besnier [Published in December 2010] The deployment of electronic equipment using increasingly high frequencies has brought about changes to electromagnetic testing methods. Devoted to reverberation rooms, which confine electromagnetic waves, this work gradually takes the reader from the principle of electromagnetic cavities through to mode stirring processes. It presents elements of electromagnetic and statistical theory as well as purely applicative aspects illustrated by equipment immunity tests or object emission measures. Written by two professors, this work is the result of the work of the CNRS’s GDR Ondes.
	Evolution of innovations in telecoms: history, techniques, players and stakes - By Claude Rigault [Published in December 2010] This work goes back over the history of the main technical, regulatory and industrial innovations in the development of telecommunications, then ICT. It shows that this sector has always been a laboratory for the uses and practices of industrial innovation. Limiting monopolies, protecting intellectual property rights, public/private partnerships, externalization – these are all topical question in the 21st century, but were already being asked in the telecommunications industry in the 19th century. This work, written by a Télécom ParisTech professor and including plenty of illustrations, provides a timely reminder of this and gives the reader a better understanding of what is at stake in innovation.
	Publication of “Evolution des innovations dans les télécoms: histoire, techniques, acteurs et enjeux” in the Collection Telecom This book traces the history of the main technical, regulatory and industrial innovations in the development of telecommunications and later ICT. It shows that the sector has been a genuine laboratory for the uses and practices of industrial innovation. Limiting monopolies, protecting intellectual property, public-private partnerships and outsourcing – these are all issues of the 21st century that were raised in telecommunications as early as the 19th century. This book written by Claude Rigault, Professor at Telecom ParisTech, is richly illustrated and offers the reader a reminder and a better understanding of the issues of innovation. >> Read the press release
	Ultra Large Band Antennae a collective study led by Xavier Bégaud of Telecom ParisTech – Lavoisier publications This study compares the frequency and temporal aspects in the design, qualification and measuring of ULB antennae. As with all transmission-reception radio channels, ULB antennae constitute an essential crossing point of signals. The effects of ULB antennae on signals in the domains of time and frequency are more complex than narrow bands, and require adapted analysis methods and performance criteria.

	Signal compression tools: audio signal applications Written by Nicolas Moreau, a professor at Télécom ParisTech, this book gives us an insight into why and how the signals of speech, music, and fixed or animated images need to be compressed. It has three parts: the first, very general section presents the quantification and coding techniques; the second is specifically devoted to audio signals and presents the speech and music encoders; and the last part illustrates the implementation of speech and music encoders with Mathlab.

	Home networks and IPTV [Published: November 2009] The Collection Télécom, which has replaced the Collection Technique et Scientifique des Télécommunications (CTST), has recently published its second work, a book devoted to home networks and IPTV. Home networks are indeed one of the key points in the development of networks of the future and the ambition of the book is to explain all the things at stake, be they technological (wiring, radio, etc.) or not. IPTV, the main consumer of very high speed internet access, is also analyzed in detail, in terms of software structure, network driving, and interaction with the platforms of operators. Find out more
	Telecoms for risk engineering [Published: September 2009] This is a book devoted to "Telecoms for risk engineering" in the Collection Télécom (formerly Collection Technique et Scientifique des Télécommunications). To write this book, Tullio Tanzi, a professor at Télécom ParisTech, worked in partnership with Patrick Perrot, head of the Signal-Image-Speech Department of the Institute of criminal research of the Gendarmerie Nationale. Together they study the technical, social and legal aspects of the telecoms systems used in risk management, from satellite detection to video surveillance systems. Find out more
	Electronique et Photo-électronique des Matériaux et Composants, Volume 2 André Moliton - 360 pages approx. Hermès-Lavoisier 2009 After the publication last January of volume 1 of the work by André Moliton on the electronics and photo-electronics of materials and components, dedicated largely to presenting the theories, here comes volume 2 focusing on the applications of the properties of materials. Among other subjects, there are several chapters dedicated to photoreceptors, optical applications and light transmitters.
	Inégalités Numériques : Clivages Sociaux et Modes d'Appropriation des TIC Fabien Granjon, Benoît Lelong, Jean-Luc Metzger - Hermès-Lavoisier (CTST Collection) Sometimes grouped together within the notion of the digital divide or gap, digital inequalities can be seen not only through simple quantitative indicators (e-exclusion phenomena) but also, and perhaps above all, in the form of differences in practices that both reflect social divides and contribute to their development. Written by three sociologists at the SENSE laboratory (Orange Labs), this book analyzes these varied phenomena and presents the results of research in both the domestic and professional spheres.
	Electronique et Photo-électronique des Matériaux et Composants, Volume 1 (André Moliton - XLim) Intended mainly for students, Electronique et Photo-électronique des Matériaux et Composants proposes a series of presentations and exercises (with answers) to provide a pedagogical approach to the fundamentals of the electronic properties of materials and the physical working of components. The treatise comprises two volumes. This first volume focuses essentially on the physics required to determine energy levels in materials and electronic structures. Electronic transport is studied in detail according to the different types of disruptions (electric, magnetic, electromagnetic and thermoelectric). The second volume will be devoted to the application of electronic properties to the domain of components, notably photo-electronic. Author André Moliton is a professor at the XLim Carnot Institut. He has already published several books in the Telecommunications Technical and Scientific Collection, including Physique des matériaux pour l'électronique (Hermès-Lavoisier 2007).
