Description

Using a systems framework, this textbook provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the performance, analysis, and design of radio systems for students and practicing engineers. Presented within a consistent framework, the first part of the book describes the fundamentals of the subject: propagation, noise, antennas, and modulation. The analysis and design of radios, including RF circuit design and signal processing, is covered in the second half of the book.

Key features

Numerous examples within the text involve realistic analysis and design activities and emphasize how practical experiences may differ from theory or taught procedures.
RF circuit design and analysis is presented with minimal involvement of Smith charts, enabling students to more readily grasp the fundamentals.
Both traditional and software-defined/direct sampling technologies are described with the pros and cons of each strategy explained.
