| Review: | This compilation of important topics in RF and wireless communications is for engineers in the field. It begins by providing a background to modern wireless communications systems and standards, and a survey of RF and wireless technology. It goes on to give a summary of next-generation wireless cellular networks and discusses some of the research issues of mobile ad hoc networks. Spread spectrum communications are explained, with both direct sequence and frequency hopping methods. The next eight chapters look at important issues of RF and wireless systems design: software-defined radio; RF power amplifiers; linear amplification with nonlinear components; phase-locked loop techniques in modem communications systems; RF power amplification linearization techniques; orthogonal frequency division multiplexing; wireless sensor networks; and turbo codes. The last four chapters discuss: reliable wireless networks for industrial applications; the basic tools of radio frequency identification technology; SIGe HBT technology for RF and wireless applications; and ultra-wideband communication. |
