About this Item

Neuware - This unique book brings together RF Engineering and Optical Integration in terrestrial fixed and mobile networks, space networks and sub orbital communication systems (Low Altitude Platforms and High-Altitude Platforms). It is written specifically to help optical engineers to understand RF engineering and RF engineers needing to understand the optical technologies used in fixed and mobile networks, including local and long-distance fiber, free space terrestrial optical point to links, earth to space and space to earth links and inter satellite and inter-constellation cross connect. The book shows you how to mix and match RF and optical efficiently and explains how to repurpose terrestrial RF and terrestrial optical for space deployment. You'll learn how to decide whether to use an RF or optical link; how to calculate an RF and optical link budget; how to interface an optical signal to an RF bearer - and vice versa; how to multiplex RF and optical signals in guided and unguided media; and much more. This is a must-have book for practicing RF engineers, optical engineers, and planners of satcom and terrestrial networks, supply chain partners to 5G/satellite RF/optical integrations needing understanding of problems and solutions. It is also accessible to readers with a market, financial and/or regulatory interest. The book is a follow on to 5G Spectrum and Standards (Artech House_ Varrall_2016) and 5G and Satellite Spectrum, Standards and Scale (Artech House_ Varrall_2018).

About this title

Synopsis

In his third book for Artech on fifth-generation mobile communication protocols (5G), Varrall prepares for the 2023 World Radio Conference by addressing the integration of radio frequency (RF) and optical engineering in terrestrial fixed and mobile networks, space networks, and suborbital communications systems (low-altitude and high-altitude platforms). His goal is to help RF and optical engineers understand each other when dealing with such networks. His topics include 5G radio spectrum including RF C band: link budgets and active and passive device efficiency, RF over fiber, deep space and near space, RF and optical technology enablers, and technology economics of RF and fiber for terrestrial and space networks.

About the Author

Geoff Varrall joined RTT in 1985 as an executive director and shareholder to develop RTT's international business as a provider of technology and business services to the wireless and telecommunications industry. He co-developed RTT’s original series of design and facilitation workshops including ‘RF Technology’, ‘Data over Radio’, ‘Introduction to Mobile Radio’, and ‘Private Mobile Radio Systems’ and developed ‘The Oxford Programme’, a five-day strategic technology and market programme presented annually between 1991 and 2005. Geoff has been running in depth technology and market workshops for the industry for over 35 years, spanning five generations of mobile cellular technology. Over the past five years this work has expanded to include photonics and optical engineering in terrestrial and satellite networks and the study of the financial return achievable from terrestrial and satellite and RF and optical assets. This is the seventh book that Geoff had written or co-written and the third of three for Artech House.
