Thanks for purchasing the RFI Pocket Guide. The
purpose of this guide to help you identify, locate
and resolve radio frequency interference (RFI). It
includes some basic theory and measurement
techniques and there are a number of handy
references, tables, and equations that you may
find useful. The ...
The unguided transmission of information using electromagnetic waves
at radio frequency (RF) is often referred to as wireless communications,
the first demonstration of which took place at the end of the 19th cen-
tury and is attributed to Hertz. The technology was, shortly thereafter,
commercialise ...
Cognitive radios have become a vital solution that allows sharing of the scarce
frequency spectrum available for wireless systems. It has been demonstrated
that it can be used for future wireless systems as well as integrated into 4G/5G
wireless systems. Although there is a great amount of literatur ...
The single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA)
system is a well-known system that has recently become a preferred
choice for mobile uplink channels. This is attributed to its advantages
such as the low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and the use of
frequency domain equalizers. Lo ...
The radio spectrum is one of the most precious resources which must be managed
to ensure efficient access for the wireless communication services which use it. The
allocation and management of spectrum are administered by the regulatory
authorities. Traditionally, spectrum allocation is carried out ...
Radio frequency spectrum is a scarce and critical natural resource that is utilized for
many services including surveillance, navigation, communication, and broadcast-
ing. Recent years have seen tremendous growth in the use of spectrum especially by
commercial cellular operators. Ubiquitous use of ...
Wireless communications has become a field of enormous scientific and economic interest. Recent
success stories include 2G and 3G cellular voice and data services (e.g., GSM and UMTS), wireless
local area networks (WiFi/IEEE 802.11x), wireless broadband access (WiMAX/IEEE 802.16x), and
digital broad ...
Recent advances in wireless communication technologies have had a transforma-
tive impact on society and have directly contributed to several economic and social
aspects of daily life. Increasingly, the untethered exchange of information between
devices is becoming a prime requirement for further pr ...
Once upon a time, cellular wireless networks provided two basic services: voice
telephony and low-rate text messaging. Users in the network were separated
by orthogonal multiple access schemes, and cells by generous frequency reuse
patterns [1]. Since then, the proliferation of wireless services, fi ...
Visible light communications (VLC) is the name given to an optical wireless
communication system that carries information by modulating light in the visible spectrum
(400–700 nm) that is principally used for illumination [1–3]. The communications signal
is encoded on top of the illumination light. ...
