This edition updates and continues the series of books based on the residential courses on radiowave propagation organised by the IEE/IET. The first course was held in 1974, with lectures by H. Page, P. Matthews, D. Parsons, M.W. Gough, P.A. Watson, E. Hickin, T. Pratt, P. Knight, T.B. Jones, P.A. B ...

It is more than a decade since GSM was first commercially available. After some unexpected delay, it seems that finally UMTS is here to stay as a 3G system standardised by 3GPP, at least for another ten years. UMTS will enable multi-service, multi-rate and flexible IP native-based mobile technologie ...

Mobile and wireless communication systems are a prominent communications technology of the twenty-first century with profound economic and social impacts in practically all parts of the world. The current state of wireless communication systems allows for a much wider scope of applications than what ...

The first gem of wisdom I ever acquired about consulting, obtained many years ago from a former schoolmate, was to ensure that everything is plugged in: no continuity, no data. Wires carry voltages and currents from one place to another. Their behavior is reasonably simple and predictable—at least ...

The unguided transmission of information using electromagnetic waves at radio frequency (RF) is often referred to as wireless communications, the first demonstration of which took place at the end of the 19th cen- tury and is attributed to Hertz. The technology was, shortly thereafter, commercialise ...

The market for cellular phones and wireless data transmission equipment has changed dramatically since the late 1970s when cellular phones were first introduced and the late 1980s when wireless data equipment became available. As would be expected, duringthistime RF test requirements and RF test equ ...

The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique provides higher bit rates and better reliability in wireless systems. The efficient design of RF transceivers has a vital impact on the implementation of this technique. This first book is com- pletely devoted to RF transceiver design for MIMO comm ...

Cognitive radios have become a vital solution that allows sharing of the scarce frequency spectrum available for wireless systems. It has been demonstrated that it can be used for future wireless systems as well as integrated into 4G/5G wireless systems. Although there is a great amount of literatur ...

The book is written for those concerned with the design and performance of satellite communications systems employed in fixed point-to-point, broadcasting, mobile, radio- navigation,data-relay,computercommunications,andrelatedsatellite-basedapplications.The recentrapidgrowthinsatellitecommunications ...

The first question most readers of an O’Reilly book might ask is about the choice of the cover animal. In this case, “why a duck?” Well, for the record, our first choice was a unicorn decked out in glitter and a rainbow sash. That response always gets a laugh (we are sure you just giggled a littl ...
