Wireless Communications (Wiley - IEEE)

This essential textbook on the principles and applications of mobile radio is an all-encompassing current treatment of the area, addressing both the traditional elements, such as Rayleigh fading, BER in flat fading channels, and equalization, and more recently emerging topics like multi-user detection in CDMA systems, OFDM and smart antennas. These fundamentals are related to practical systems, and the dominant wireless standards, including cellular, cordless and wireless LANs, are discussed.

• A comprehensive and current treatment of a very hot topic, one of the fastest growing fields of communications

• Topics featured include: wireless propagation channels, transceivers and signal processing, multiple access and advanced transceiver schemes, and standardized wireless systems

• Combines mathematical descriptions with intuitive explanations of the physical facts, to assist readers in acquiring a deeper understanding of the area

Wireless Communications is an essential text for advanced undergraduate students with a working knowledge of standard digital communications, graduate students and practising engineers. It will also be an invaluable source of reference for wireless communications engineers.

Companion website includes:

• Supplementary material on 'DECT'

• Solutions manual and presentation slides for instructors

• Appendices
• List of abbreviations
• Other useful resources
