While teaching classes on digital transmission and mobile communications for
undergraduate and graduate students, I was wondering if it would be possible to
write a book capable of giving them some insight about the practical meaning of the
concepts, beyond the mathematics; the same insight that exp ...
Wireless technologies like GSM, UMTS, LTE, Wireless LAN and Bluetooth have
revolutionized the way we communicate by making services like telephony and Internet
access available anytime and from almost anywhere. Today, a great variety of technical
publications offer background information about these ...
This book is the outcome of the panel discussions held on the special event honor-
ing first 50 PhD students of Prof. Ramjee Prasad. Several of his PhD students are
today worldwide telecommunication leaders themselves. Over 60 post-docs, PhDs,
colleagues and the scientific staff were present at the ...

When we started thinking about writing the first edition of this book a few years ago, we had been
working together for more than five years on the borderline between propagation and signal processing.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this book deals with propagation models and design tools for ...

techniques commonly used in solving EM-related problems. Althou ...
By inventing the wireless transmitter or radio in 1897, the Italian physicist Tomaso
Guglielmo Marconi added a new dimension to the world of communications. This
enabled the transmission of the human voice through space without wires. For this
epoch-making invention, this illustrious scientist was h ...
The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique provides higher bit rates
and better reliability in wireless systems. The efficient design of RF transceivers
has a vital impact on the implementation of this technique. This first book is com-
pletely devoted to RF transceiver design for MIMO comm ...
Spread-spectrum communication is a core area within the field of digital
communication. Originally used in military networks as countermeasures against
the threats of jamming and interception, spread-spectrum systems are now widely
used in commercial applications and are part of several wireless and ...
