Traditional modulation methods adopted by space agencies for transmit- ting telecommand and telemetry data have incorporated subcarriers as a sim- ple means of separating different data types as well ensuring no overlap between the radio frequency (RF) carrier and the modulated data’s frequency spe ...

Employing multiple transmit and receive antennas, namely using multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, has proven to be a major breakthrough in providing reliable wireless communication links. Since their invention in the mid-1990s, transmit diversity, achieved through space-time coding, and spatia ...

How will future generations refer to our times? Will it be known as one of space exploration, genetics, atomic energy or computing? Possibly, but I think it is more likely to be ‘The age of communications’. Not since printed books and newspapers were first introduced has there been such an explosi ...

At the time of writing, and to an extent never seen before, there is an expectation that almost any information or service that is available through communication systems in the office or home will be available wherever the user happens to be. This is placing incredible demands on wireless communica ...

The objective of this book is to allow the reader to predict the received signal power produced by a particular radio transmitter. The first two chapters examine propagation in free space for point-to-point and point-to-area transmission, respectively. This is combined with a dis- cussion regarding ...

When we started thinking about writing the first edition of this book a few years ago, we had been working together for more than five years on the borderline between propagation and signal processing. Therefore, it is not surprising that this book deals with propagation models and design tools for ...

Many good textbooks exist on probability and random processes written at the under- graduate level to the research level. However, there is no one handy and ready book that explains most of the essential topics, such as random variables and most of their frequently used discrete and continuous proba ...

Wireless means different things to different people. For this book, it refers to the radio systems that provide point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and Earth-space communications over transmission links that propagate outside buildings through the lower atmosphere. Wireless systems are being built ...

By inventing the wireless transmitter or radio in 1897, the Italian physicist Tomaso Guglielmo Marconi added a new dimension to the world of communications. This enabled the transmission of the human voice through space without wires. For this epoch-making invention, this illustrious scientist was h ...
