Step-by-step tutorial to master current design techniques forwireless communication systems
The Third Edition of Radio System Design forTelecommunications brings this highly acclaimed book fully upto date with the latest technological advances and newapplications. At the same time, the hallmarks of the previouseditions, including the text's popular tutorial presentation, havebeen retained. Readers therefore get all the tools and guidancethey need to master an essential set of current design techniquesfor radio systems that operate at frequencies of 3 MHz to 100GHz.
Using simple mathematics, the author illustrates design conceptsand applications. The book's logical organization, beginning with adiscussion of radio propagation problems, enables readers toprogressively develop the skills and knowledge needed to advance inthe text. Topics that are new to the Third Edition include:
* Chapter devoted to wireless LANs (WLANs) as detailed in IEEE802.11
* Subsections covering IEEE 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and thewireless metropolitan area network (WMAN)
* WiFi, WiMax, and UWB applications that have recentlyexperienced explosive growth
* Broadband radio in telecommunications, as well as offsetfrequency division multiplex (OFDM), a new technique fortransmitting information in an interference environment
* The use of very small aperture satellite terminal (VSAT)systems as an economical alternative to public switchedtelecommunication networks (PSTN)
Review questions and problems at the end of each chapter engagereaders' newfound skills and knowledge and help them assess whetherthey are ready to progress to the next chapter. References areprovided for readers who want to investigate particular topics ingreater depth.
Students in wireless telecommunications will find the book'stutorial style ideal for learning all the ins and outs of radiosystem design, whereas professionals in the industry will want torefer to the Third Edition for its clear explanations of the latesttechnology and applications.
