Robust Modulation Methods and Smart Antennas in Wireless Communications

By Bruno Pattan

This is a systematic, practical tutorial covering every key technology for maximizing the capacity and performance of wireless systems.KEY TOPICS: The book's reader-friendly coverage introduces spectral and power efficiencies within Shannon bounds, as well as key techniques for bandwidth-efficient modulation. These techniques include higher-order modulation waveforms, signal state-space diagrams, performance representations, and much more. Understand today's robust digital signal modulation methods; advanced approaches for mitigating interference in spread spectrum systems; signal formats and performance specifications in terrestrial cellular; and the rapid evolution of smart antennas and smart arrays. Coverage also includes: the dynamics of linear and continuous phase modulations in digital communications; fundamentals of error correction coding; the advantages of trellis coded modulation; Butler matrix beam forming networks; side lobe cancellers; and switched multi-beam smart antennas and adaptive arrays. The book contains extensive figures, illustrations, and glossaries of terms throughout.MARKET: For all wireless systems designers.
