This applied engineering reference covers a wide range of wireless communication design techniques; including link budgets, error detection and correction, adaptive and cognitive techniques, and system analysis of receivers and transmitters. Digital modulation and demodulation techniques using phase-shift keyed and frequency hopped spread spectrum systems are addressed. The book includes sections on broadband communications and home networking, satellite communications, global positioning systems (GPS), search, acquisition and track, and radar communications. Various techniques and designs are evaluated for modulating and sending digital signals, and the book offers an intuitive approach to probability plus jammer reduction methods using various adaptive processes. This title assists readers in gaining a firm understanding of the processes needed to effectively design wireless digital communication and cognitive systems with a basic understanding of radar. Transceiver and System Design for Digital Communications has been fully revised and updated in this new fifth edition, with the addition of two new chapters addressing radar communications and volume search and track. Derived from numerous training workshops taught to engineers through private courses by the authors, this book will appeal to digital wireless communications system designers in both the commercial and military sectors, in particular new engineers requiring practical design techniques and fundamental understanding of modern systems that employ digital transceivers.
