Wiley Fundamentals of Wireless Communication Engineering Technologies (Information and Communication Technology Series)

About the Author K. Daniel Wong, Phd (Stanford), is a member of the Practice Analysis Task Force (PATF), which was organized by the IEEE Communications Society and created the initial list of topics for the WCET. After teaching at the Malaysia University of Science and Technology, he started his own training and consulting company in wireless networking and software. He often teaches a variety of highly rated and well received courses on wireless communications. In addition, he has contributed to numerous books, journal and magazine papers, and conference papers. Product Description A broad introduction to the fundamentals of wireless communication engineering technologiesCovering both theory and practical topics, Fundamentals of Wireless Communication Engineering Technologies offers a sound survey of the major industry-relevant aspects of wireless communication engineering technologies. Divided into four main sections, the book examines RF, antennas, and propagation; wireless access technologies; network and service architectures; and other topics, such as network management and security, policies and regulations, and facilities infrastructure. Helpful cross-references are placed throughout the text, offering additional information where needed.The book provides:Coverage that is closely aligned to the IEEE's Wireless Communication Engineering Technologies (WCET) certification program syllabus, reflectingthe author's direct involvement in the development of the programA special emphasis on wireless cellular and wireless LAN systemsAn excellent foundation for expanding existing knowledge in the wireless field by covering industry-relevant aspects of wireless communicationInformation on how common theories are applied in real-world wireless systemsWith a holistic and well-organized overview of wireless communications, Fundamentals of Wireless Communication Engineering Technologies is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in taking the WCET exam, as well as practicing engineers, professors, and students seeking to increase their knowledge of wireless communication engineering technologies.
