The new digital radio system DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting, nowadays often called
Digital Radio) is a very innovative and universal multimedia broadcast system which will
replace the existing AM and FM audio broadcast services in many parts of the world in
the future. It was developed in the 1990s ...
Optical communication technology has been extensively developed over the
last 50 years, since the proposed idea by Kao and Hockham [1]. However, only
during the last 15 years have the concepts of communication foundation, that
is, the modulation and demodulation techniques, been applied. This is pos ...
With the advancement of technology and miniaturization of electronic devices, applications of
wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be seen in diverse areas in our lives. In fact, these WSNs
have gained a lot of attention from both the research community and industry, making them
easily available on t ...
During the past decade, many wireless communication techniques have been
developedto achievevariousgoals suchas higherdata rate,morerobustlink quality,
and higher number of users in a given bandwidth. For wireless communication
systems, depending on the availability of a feedback link, two approache ...
Free Space Optical Communication (FSOC) is an effective alternative technology to
meet the Next Generation Network (NGN) demands as well as highly secured (mili-
tary) communications. FSOC includes various advantages like last mile access, easy
installation, free of Electro Magnetic Interference (EM ...
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 ...

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 ...
Wireless metropolitan area networks (WirelessMANs) is emerging as a promising
broadband wireless access (BWA) technology to provide high-speed, high bandwidth
efficiency and high-capacity multimedia services for residential as well as enterprise
applications. It is observed that WirelessMAN (e.g., W ...
