Handbook of RF and Wireless Technologies Author:Farid Dowla Expert contributors drawn from the ranks of academia and industry have authored chapters in such areas as third-generation wireless, wireless sensor networks, RF power amplifiers, spread spectrum modulation, signal propagation, antennas, and other key subjects that engineers working in RF and wireless need to be familiar with. — This is far more ... more »than just a tutorial or reference guide-it is a "guided tour" through the world of cutting-edge RF and wireless design, combining theory, applications, and philosophies behind the RF/wireless design process. The multiple and sometimes overlapping chapters reiterate and emphasize the fundamentals in the context of different types of wireless applications.
Here are just a few benefits that readers will gain from reading this book:
*A refresher and update of wireless principles and techniques.
*Information about the latest (and forthcoming) RF and wireless circuits, products and systems.
*Guidelines, approaches, and techniques to RF/wireless design.
*Examples of typical applications with an emphasis on real-world situations including existing and forthcoming new components and integrated circuits.
*Coverage of new and emerging wireless topics heretofore not widely covered in print (e.g. UWB, RFID, IR, etc.)
* A comprehensive survey of current RF and wireless engineering practice
* Heavy emphasis on practical applications and design guidelines
* Multiple contributors assure a wide range of perspectives and avoids individual bias« less
