Rf and Microwave Wireless System

A comprehensive introduction to the hardware, parameters, and architectures of RF/microwave wireless systems As the basis for some of the hottest technologies of the new millennium, radio frequency (RF) and microwave wireless systems rapidly propel us toward a future in which the transmission of voice, video, and data communications will be possible anywhere in the world through the use of simple, handheld devices. This book provides scientists and engineers with clear, thorough, up-to-date explanations of all aspects of RF and microwave wireless systems, including general hardware components, system parameters, and architectures. Renowned authority Kai Chang covers both communication and radar/sensor systems and extends the discussion to other intriguing topics, from global positioning systems (GPS) to smart highways and smart automobiles. With an emphasis on basic operating principles, Dr. Chang reviews waves and transmission lines, examines modulation and demodulation and multiple-access techniques, and helps bridge the gap between RF/microwave engineering and communication system design. Ample practical examples of components and system configurations and nearly 300 illustrations and photographs complete this timely and indispensable resource.

A comprehensive introduction to hardware and circuit design for wireless systems RF and Microwave Circuit and Component Design for Wireless Systems describes the general hardware components and circuits, design methods, system parameters, and architectures for RF and microwave applications. It features a wealth of practical examples primarily in communication systems, though this material can also be applied to other wireless applications. The authors provide expert coverage of technical issues for engineers and technicians working in the areas of RF, microwaves, communications, solid-state devices, and radar systems. They cover general wireless systems and the devices and circuit technologies at work in them, as well as: Transmitter and receiver system parametersTransmission lines and impedance matching techniquesFilters and couplersSwitchesLow noise amplifiersMixersOscillators and modulationPower amplifiersAntennas With the inclusion of figures, tables, curves, and a multitude of design examples, RF and Microwave Circuit and Component Design for Wireless Systems serves as a comprehensive reference for practitioners and a detailed introductory text for graduate students.
