This book gives a comprehensive overview of the technologies for the advances of
mobile radio access networks. The topics covered include linear transmitters,
superconducting filters and cryogenic radio frequency (RF) front head, radio over
fiber, software radio base stations, mobile terminal positi ...
Emerging technologies such as WiFi and WiMAX are profoundly changing the
landscape of wireless broadband. As we evolve into future generation wireless
networks, a primary challenge is the support of high data rate, integrated multi-
media type traffic over a unified platform. Due to its ...
The first Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Wideband Code Division
Multiple Access (WCDMA) networks were launched during 2002. By the end of 2005
there were 100 open WCDMA networks and a total of over 150 operators having
frequency licenses for WCDMA operation. Currently, the WCDMA network ...
This research work aims at eliminating the off-chip RF SAW filters from fre-
quency division duplexed (FDD) receivers. In the first approach, a monolithic passive
RF filter was constructed using on-chip capacitors and bondwire inductors. The bond-
wire characteristics were studied in details and the ...
Multi-carrier modulation‚ Orthogonal Frequency Division Multi-
plexing (OFDM) particularly‚ has been successfully applied to
a wide variety of digital communications applications over the past
several years. Although OFDM has been chosen as the physical layer
standard for a diversity of important ...
Since the principle of multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) was
simultaneously proposed by Khaled Fazel et al. and Nathan Yee et al. at the IEEE
International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications
(PIMRC) in the year 1993, multi-carrier spread spectrum (MC-SS ...
All wireless communication standards, existing and under development, adopt or
consider adopting orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) as the
modulation technique. It is clear that OFDM has become the definitive modulation
scheme in current and future wireless communication systems.
Before delving into the details of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), relevant
background material must be presented first. The purpose of this chapter is to provide the necessary
building blocks for the development of OFDM principles. Included in this chapter are reviews of stochast ...
