Applications of Digital Wireless Technologies to Global Wireless Communications

A wireless communication engineer's guide to the universe of available technologies detailing systems which may become as standard as the cell phone. Sampei (communications engineering, Osaka U.) illustrates modulation/demodulation and synchronization techniques, FDMA, TDMA, and CDMA, multi-path fading compensation techniques, DSP-based signal processing algorithms, system and interface design, and error detection and control. The discussions also add a new volume to the currently small collection of English-language publications which deal with the Japanese standardized systems such as the PDC system and the personal handyphone system. Includes very detailed diagrams, charts, and code. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
