The book you’re holding, physically or electronically, is the result of a very
interesting, challenging but also rewarding research project. The research was
carried out in different contexts and cooperations but it was centered around the
following question: how can we make the RF transmitters of ...
The next-generation wireless broadband technology is changing the way
we work, live, learn, and communicate through effective use of state-
of-the-art mobile broadband technology. The packet-data-based revolu-
tion started around 2000 with the introduction of 1x Evolved Data Only
(1xEV-DO) and 1x Ev ...
For nearly a hundred years telecommunications provided mainly voice services and very low speed
data (telegraph and telex). With the advent of the Internet, several data services became mainstream
in telecommunications; to the point that voice is becoming an accessory to IP-centric data networks.

During the 400 days and nights before we finalized this book on January 1, 2012,
we saw the sunset decorated by the raindrop, and were accompanied by the flowers
blooming to withering. All those past memories are engraved on our hearts and will
last eternally, cementing the most profound friendship ...
In the nineteenth century, scientists, mathematician, engineers and innovators started
investigating electromagnetism. The theory that underpins wireless communications was
formed by Maxwell. Early demonstrations took place by Hertz, Tesla and others. Marconi
demonstrated the first wireless transmis ...
Today, our everyday life is almost impossible to detach
from the influence of wireless mobile communication
technologies. This global trend is growing exponentially, and
the mobile-only data traffic is expected to exceed stationary
data traffic. However, for further development of mobile
communicati ...
MIMO-OFDM is a key technology for next-generation cellular communications (3GPP-LTE,
Mobile WiMAX, IMT-Advanced) as well as wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11n),
wireless PAN (MB-OFDM), and broadcasting (DAB, DVB, DMB). This book provides a
comprehensive introduction to the basic theory and pra ...
It was only a few years ago that “ubiquitous connectivity” was recognized as the future of
wireless communication systems. In the era of ubiquitous connectivity, it was expected that
the broadband mobile Internet experience would be pervasive, and seamless connectivity on
a global scale would be n ...
Second-generation telecommunication systems, such as the Global System for Mobile
Communications (GSM), enabled voice traffic to go wireless: the number of mobile phones
exceeds the number of landline phones and the mobile phone penetration is approaching
100% in several markets. The data-handling c ...
