Radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers are used in everyday life for many applica-
tions including cellular phones, magnetic resonance imaging, semiconductor wafer
processing for chip manufacturing, etc. Therefore, the design and performance of
RF amplifiers carry great importance for the proper func ...
With the rapid expansion of wireless consumer products,there has been a con-
siderable increase in the need for radio-frequency (RF) planning, link plan-
ning, and propagation modeling.A network designer with no RF background
may find himself/herself designing a wireless network. A wide array of RF
...
Nature is seldom kind. One of the most appealing uses for radio-
telephone systems—communication with people on the move—must over-
come radio transmission problems so difficult they challenge the imagina-
tion. A microwave radio signal transmitted between a fixed base station
and a moving vehicle ...
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 ...
his research aims at creating broadband tunable, fully integrated filters for the application of
cognitive radio and signal classification receivers. The approach under study is the N-path filter
technique which is capable of translating a baseband impedance to a reference frequency creating
a tunab ...
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 ...
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 ...
Radio propagation measurements and channel modelling continue to be of fundamental importance
to radio system design. As new technology enables dynamic spectrum access and higher data rates,
radio propagation effects such as shadowing, the presence of multipath and frequency dispersion
are the limit ...
One of the prerequisites for the development of telecommunication services is the
understanding of the propagation of the waves, either acoustic, electromagnetic,
radio or light waves, which are used for the transmission of information.
In this work, we shall limit ourselves to the study of radio wa ...
