Artech House Practical Wireless Data Modem Design (Artech House Mobile Communications)

Without relying upon rigorous mathematical derivations, and including actual design examples, this text offers the reader the knowledge and tools to more effectively analyze, specify and solve a multitude of common wireless data modem design problems. It details modem types and applications in various methods and presents design details of satellite ground station modems and the interaction between link budgets and modem performance specifications and implementations. The book also explores digital cellular telephone modem performance issues, explains modem design "Rules of Thumb" understood among designers and introduces the radio regulatory approval process from an engineer's viewpoint. The book also overviews the various modulation types and modem applications, examines signal impairments such as phase noise, tone interference and microwave oven interference, and supplies the design details of a functional (63,47) Reed Solomon Codec used in CDPD
