The only source for practical, real-world information on RFmeasurements for cellular phones and wireless data systems
It is predicted that by the year 2010, all digital wirelesscommunications equipment--including cellular, PCS, and 3Gphones; wireless LANs; GPS navigation systems; and DBSTV--will have data transfer capabilities of over 1 Mbps. Now,as this significant turning point quickly approaches, this bookpresents everything industry professionals need to know about theRadio Frequency (RF) measurements and tests that must be made onthis new generation of digital wireless communicationsequipment.
Presenting just enough theory as is absolutely required forcomprehension, RF Measurements for Cellular Phones and WirelessData Systems:
* Provides a review of basic RF principles and terminology
* Describes RF measurement equipment, including signal generators,power meters, frequency meters, vector network analyzers, spectrumanalyzers, and vector signal analyzers
* Explains the RF devices that are used in cellular phones andwireless data transmission equipment--how they work, whattheir critical performance parameters are, how they're tested, andtypical test results
* Illustrates the testing of RF devices and systems with digitallymodulated signals that represent the voice, video, or data that theRF wave is carrying
RF Measurements for Cellular Phones and Wireless DataSystems has been written to serve as the industry standard forRF measurements and testing. It is an indispensable resource forengineers, technicians, and managers involved in the construction,installation, or maintenance of cell phones and wireless dataequipment.
