Introduction

This book introduces key modulation and predistortion techniques for approaching power and spectrum-efficient transmission for wireless communication systems. The book presents a combination of theoretical principles, practical implementations, and actual tests.

Focus Areas

It focuses on power and spectrally efficient modulation and transmission techniques in portable wireless communication systems, and introduces currently developed and designed RF transceivers in the latest wireless markets.

Author's Expertise

Most materials, design examples, and design strategies used are based on the author’s two decades of work in the digital communication fields, especially in the areas of digital modulations, demodulations, digital signal processing, and linearization of power amplifiers.

Applications

The applications of these practical products and equipment cover the satellite communications on earth station systems, microwave communication systems, 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA mobile communication systems, and 802.11 WLAN systems.
