Channel Adaptive Technologies for Wireless and Mobile Networking with Single/Multiple Antennas provides complete coverage of the latest theories (joint application of queuing theory and information theory) and practical industrial design considerations for communication systems with various levels of feedback.

Revised and updated to describe the latest technological advances in the field, this volume presents new material on digital communications, fibre optics and lightwave networks. It focuses on specific optical technologies that have emerged since the first edition of this text was published in 1976.

This is a practical introduction to the core concepts, techniques and methodologies underlying recent developments in the field of telecommunication networks. The techniques are common to the design and operation of all forms of existing networks.

Part of a two-volume work, this treatment of synchronization in digital communications emphasizes applications rather than mathematics. The text presents the basics of phase, frequency and amplitude control, and then covers more advanced subjects such as the nonlinear theory of synchronizers.

Fiber-optic cables and systems are widely used in telecommunications applications. This book offers a complete and comprehensive overview of fiber-optic systems specifically for telecommunications applications.

From the reviews of the Second Edition. "The book stresses how systems operate and the rationale behind their design, rather than presenting rigorous analytical formulations. [It provides] the practicality and breadth essential to mastering the concepts of modern communications systems.

The four short years since Digital Communication over Fading Channelsbecame an instant classic have seen a virtual explosion of significant new work on the subject, both by the authors and by numerous researchers around the world.

Multicarrier Modulation (MCM) is the most efficient technique for a highly distorting and highly corrupted medium such as digital subscriber loop (DSL). This book describes MCM and discusses the evolution of SDSL and VDSL (Very high-speed DSL).

A guide to the theory and application of methods of projections. With the rise of powerful personal computers, methods of vector space projections have moved rapidly from the realm of theory into widespread use. This book reflects the growing interest in the application of these methods to problem solving in science and engineering.

This applications-oriented book provides the background and framework for the design of a fully operational transmission system. It employs a "total systems" approach that examines various telecommunications disciplines not in isolation, but as a part of a larger system.

Despite our growing understanding of the properties and capabilities of nonlinear filters, there persists the belief among engineers that these filters are too complex to implement. This book debunks the myth that all nonlinear filters are complex with its coverage of the polynomial filter.

This new edition of the popular guide to telecommunications circuit design offers the same comprehensive coverage found in the first edition, but now features additional sections on mobile and wireless phones and pagers, compact antennas, switches, power amplifiers, and TDMA and CDMA modulation schemes.

Fundamentals of Telecommunications, Second Edition provides readers worldwide with the knowledge and skills required for successful implementation and support of today's telecommunications networks, which have the ability to transport voice, data, and image traffic to any location in the world.

Microwave radio links are the transmission facilities connecting two adjacent base stations for cellular radio. By linking microwave stations broadband transmission, capable of handling large amounts of data, is possible. This book covers the design of microwave radio links.

This book presents fundamental passive optical network (PON) concepts, providing you with the tools needed to understand, design, and build these new access networks. The logical sequence of topics begins with the underlying principles and components of optical fiber communication technologies used in access networks.

Robust Adaptive Beamforming assembles and presents the latest development on robust adaptive beamforming research. Only recently have some methods with a clear theoretical background been proposed, which, unlike the early methods, make explicit use of an uncertainty set of the array steering vector.
