We have literally hundreds of ADOBE Acrobat (.pdf) files on our site. Many of these are linked directly from the appropriate topical page, such as "UWB" or "OFDM." Others are available only from links in this index.

For ease of reference, the files are categorized by subject. Obviously, the subjects that can be used are very subjective (that's where the term came from, after all!). The ones we are using are listed below. Click on the appropriate term to go to the section you are looking for.

You can also scroll down the page, if you prefer. This page contains subjects beginning with the letters A through E; F through Z is on page 2.
