When the British Colonial Governor of Chania is strangled to death in his study, the possible suspects include a wronged husband, a fiery-tempered local politician, and the members of an African secret society working against white rule. It is a tangled web forSuperintendent Vachell of the Chania CID to unravel, but fortunately he has the help of a brash young female anthropologist and a canny, snuff-taking witch doctor.

Multi-Gigabit Transmission over Multimode Optical Fibre presents a system design approach to single-wavelength laser-based multimode optical fibre transmission systems, operating at multi-gigabit data rates. The first part of the book focuses on theoretical issues, covering close-form mathematical modelling of multimode fibre behaviour, with special attention on the impulse response. Part two presents a modular system modelling approach discussing its features, applications, and limitations. The author gives a detailed discussion of the Electronic Dispersion Compensator implemented using the Decision Feedback Equalizer technique. In addition, pioneering laboratory measurements of 10GbE over several hundreds of meters of legacy multimode fibres are presented in a systematic context for the first time. Multi-Gigabit Transmission over Multimode Optical Fibre: Provides a comprehensive guide to single-wa...
