About this Item

Based on the popular Artech House classic, Digital Communication Systems Engineering with Software-Defined Radio, this book provides a practical approach to quickly learning the software-defined radio (SDR) concepts needed. It explains how to create wireless design prototypes using SDR for real-world testing and experimentation and discusses advanced wireless communication techniques such as OFDM, LTE, WLA, and hardware targeting. Readers will gain an understanding of the core concepts behind wireless hardware, such as the radio frequency front-end, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, as well as various processing technologies. The book also includes details about HDL code generation and deployment as well as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. This volume includes chapters on timing estimation, matched filtering, frame synchronization message decoding, and source coding. It concludes with coverage of the WLAN toolbox with OFDM beacon reception and the LTE toolbox with downlink reception. Multiple case studies are presented throughout the book, and MATLAB and Simulink source codes are included to assist students and professionals with projects in the field.

About this title

Synopsis

Starting with fundamental concepts in digital communications, signal processing, and

probability, this book provides practical insights on topics such as timing estimation, carrier

recovery, frame synchronization, equalization, and OFDM in order to enable the reader to

ultimately implement and experiment with real-world communication systems using SDR.

All experiments and exercises are built around the ADALM-PLUTO Active Learning Module

(Pluto SDR) from Analog Devices Inc., an affordable and versatile SDR platform available

to both students and professional engineers, with code written in MATLAB. MATLAB source

code is included to provide an ecosystem for the reader to conduct over-the-air

experiments across the many topics covered in the book.
