Introduction to Rf Equipment and System Design

Introduction to Rf Equipment and System Design
Eskelinen, Pekka
ISBN: 1580536654
February 2004

An excellent resource for engineers and engineering students alike, this practical design guide offers you a comprehensive overview of the most important aspects and components of radio frequency equipment and systems. The book applies theoretical fundamentals to real-world issues, extensively using examples from recent design projects. You learn how to configure an effective receiver and transmitter architectures from commercial blocks, determine the most efficient ways of circumventing wave propagation problems in a real network, assemble a reliable test environment for an RF project, and make a design survive in the real operating environment.

Moreover, this handy reference shows you how to design a small instrumentation radar system and an airborne telemetry system. Other key discussions include circuits and components for system evaluations and design, RF measurement instrumentation, antennas and associated hardware, and guidelines for purchasing test equipment. The book also serves as a valuable on-the-job training resource for sales engineers and a graduate-level text for courses in this area.

Jennifer A. Manner
ISBN: 158053628X
June   2003
  • Thoroughly understand the radiocommunications spectrum resource, how it is allocated, and the regulatory regime governing it
  • Formulate efficient, cost-effective plans for obtaining access and approval to operate in frequency
  • Master the lobbying, technical, regulatory, legal, and political skills needed for success
  • Comprehend the growing variety of difficult policy challenges in the spectrum arena, including the use of secondary spectrum markets
  • Gain valuable insight into how telecom’s financial meltdown is impacting the battle for spectrum

Radiocommunications spectrum is a limited resource and there will always be a struggle over how it is allocated and utilized. Spectrum Wars: The Policy and Technology Debate is insurance, helping you and your company succeed in this struggle.

Digital Audio Broadcasting

Digital Audio Broadcasting
Wolfgang Hoeg (Editor), Thomas Lauterbach (Editor)
ISBN: 0470850132
October   2003

Now the standardisation work of DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) system is finished many broadcast organisations, network providers and receiver manufacturers in European countries and outside of Europe (for example Canada and the Far East) will be installing DAB broadcast services as pilot projects or public services. In addition some value added services (data and video services) are under development or have already started as pilot projects.

The new digital broadcast system DAB distinguishes itself from existing conventional broadcast systems, and the various new international standards and related documents (from ITU-R, ISO/IEC, ETSI, EBU, EUREKA147, and others) are not readily available and are difficult to read for users. Therefore it is essential that a well structured technical handbook should be available.

The Second Edition of Digital Audio Broadcasting has been fully updated with new sections and chapters added to reflect all the latest developments and advances.

Digital Audio Broadcasting:

  • Provides a fully updated comprehensive overview of DAB
  • Covers international standards, applications and other technical issues
  • Combines the expertise of leading researchers in the field of DAB
  • Now covers such new areas as: IP-Tunneling via DAB; Electronic Programme Guide for DAB; and Metadata

A comprehensive overview of DAB specifically written for planning and system engineers, developers for professional and domestic equipment manufacturers, service providers, as well as postgraduate students and lecturers in communications technology.

Nonlinear Microwave and RF Circuits

Nonlinear Microwave and RF Circuits
Daniel Ralph, Paul Graham
ISBN: 1580534848
November  2003

Critical new topics include microwave heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs), heterojunction FETs (HEMTs), silicon MOSFETs, modern IC design approaches, new methods of harmonic-balance analysis, multitone analysis methods, Fourier methods for multitone problems, and artificial frequency mapping. What’s more, the second edition has been updated to include discussions on nonlinear analysis of oscillators and design issues relating to RF and wireless technology. More than 120 illustrations support key topics throughout the book.

Microwave Circuit Modeling Using Electromagnetic Field Simulation

Microwave Circuit Modeling Using Electromagnetic Field Simulation
Daniel G. Jr. Swanson, Wolfgang J. R. Hoefer
ISBN: 1580533086
May 2003

A generous amount of case study material is presented, including a ‘what went wrong in the design process’ discussion, when applicable. Color plots of current density and various field quantities included throughout the book help you better understand the fundamental behavior of the circuits being studied. Stress is given to the impact of meshing, geometrical resolution and convergence on the solution process, showing you that you can better control and greatly influence the quality and speed of the solution. You’ll appreciate solving problems using the fundamental, underlying physics, rather than the more approximate methods used in the past. Specific design information on transitions in multilayer PCBs and PCB connectors is not available in any other book.

Multi-Carrier and Spread Spectrum Systems

Multi-Carrier and Spread Spectrum Systems
K. Fazel, S. Kaiser
ISBN: 0470848995
October 2003

Frequency spectrum is a limited and valuable resource for wireless communications. A good example can be observed among network operators in Europe for the prices to pay for UMTS-frequency bands. Therefore, the first goal when designing future wireless communication systems (e.g. 4G – fourth generation) has to be the increase in spectral efficiency. The development in digital communications in the past years has enabled efficient modulation and coding techniques for robust and spectral efficient data, speech, audio and video transmission. These are the multi-carrier modulation (e.g. OFDM) and the spread spectrum technique (e.g. DS-CDMA), where OFDM was chosen for broadcast applications (DVB, DAB) as well as for broadband wireless indoor standards (ETSI HIPERLAN-II, IEEE-802.11) and the DS-CDMA was selected in mobile communications (IS-95, third generation mobile radio systems world wide, UMTS/IMT 2000).

Since 1993 various combinations of multi-carrier (MC) modulation and the spread spectrum (SS) technique have been introduced and the field of MC-SS communications has become an independent and important research topic with increasing activities. New application fields have been proposed such as high rate cellular mobile, high rate wireless indoor and LMDS. It has been shown that MC-SS offers the high spectral efficiency, robustness and flexibility that is required for the next generation systems. Meanwhile, different alternative hybrid schemes such as OFDM/OFDMA, MC-TDMA, etc. have been deeply analysed and adopted in different international standards (ETSI-BRAN, IEEE-802 & MMAC).

Multi-Carrier & Spread-Spectrum: Analysis of Hybrid Air Interfaces draws together all of the above mentioned hybrid schemes therefore providing a greatly needed resource for system engineers, telecommunication designers and researchers in order to enable them to develop, build and deploy several schemes based on MC-transmission for the next generation systems (which will be an integration of broadband multimedia services covering both 4G mobile and fixed wireless systems). 

  • Offers a complete treatment of multi-carrier, spread-spectrum (SS) and time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques
  • Provides an in-depth insight into hybrid multiple access techniques based on multi-carrier (MC) transmission
  • Presents numerous hybrid multiple access and air interface architectures including OFDM/CDMA, MC-CDMA, MC-DS-CDMA and MT-CDMA
  • Covers new techniques such as space-time coding and software radio

Telecommunications engineers, hardware & software system designers and researchers as well as students, lecturers and technicians will all find this an invaluable addition to their bookshelf.
