Introduction to Wireless Transceiver Design
This book provides a comprehensive, practical, and self-contained guide to the theoretical and practical aspects of modern wireless modem and transceiver design. It addresses the increasing demand for high-speed, real-time computer connectivity driven by the widespread adoption of Internet Protocol and the proliferation of wireless data networks.
The content is designed for experienced radio and communication engineers, as well as students, to deepen their understanding of wireless equipment and systems.
Key Concepts and Methodological Approach
Readers will gain the ability to fully understand the specifications that characterize the performance of modern wireless modems and transceivers as complete systems. The book details how to measure each of these specifications and explains their dependency on various components and subsystems within common architectural designs.
It covers important figures related to off-the-shelf radio-frequency and baseband super-components, providing guidance on how to measure them to evaluate their applicability and limitations effectively.
Key Features:
- Mastering Design and Measurement: Learn to design, analyze, and measure critical parameters such as phase noise of oscillators, peak-to-average and linearity of radio-frequency power amplifiers, amplitude and phase balance of quadrature channels, and radiated spurious emission.
- Self-Contained Chapters: Each chapter is designed to be self-contained, allowing for ad-hoc consultation as a reference.
- Addressing Parasitic Phenomena: The book addresses the often-overlooked topic of 'parasitic phenomena', which are frequently the cause of significant post-market issues.
- In-depth Mathematical Approach: The material is presented with a thorough mathematical approach, while avoiding unnecessarily obscure discussions to maintain clarity.
Intended Readership
This book serves as a foundational text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate engineering courses. It is also a comprehensive reference for professionals involved in Research & Development within engineering and computer sciences, including radio engineers working on cellular products and system engineers in the wireless arena.
Additionally, professors and lecturers in the field of communications, along with undergraduate and postgraduate students in engineering, computer sciences, and system engineering, will find this resource valuable.
