Written for students of engineering and physics and practicing engineers and scientists, Wireless Communications Systems: An Introduction covers the fundamentals of wireless engineering in a clear and concise manner and contains many illustrative examples. The book starts by explaining the fundamentals needed to understand, design, and deploy wireless communications systems. The author explores the basic concepts of signals, modulation, antennas, and propagation with an emphasis on MATLAB. The book emphasizes practical applications and concepts needed by wireless engineers.
The author introduces applications of wireless communications and includes information on satellite communications, radio frequency identification, and offers an overview with practical insights into the topic of multiple input multiple output (MIMO). The book also explains the security and health effects of wireless systems concerns on users and designers. Designed as a practical resource, the text contains a range of examples and pictures that illustrate many different aspects of wireless technology.
