Book Description

0024316237 978-0024316233 April 3, 1995 1

Besides the traditional military application areas, there is a growing and intense interest in spread spectrum communications systems for evolving civil applications, e.g., cellular-mobile communications, personal communications, and satellite-mobile communications. Ideal for those who need to get up to speed or current quickly in this area, this self-contained exploration of spread spectrum system analysis and applications provides a solid theoretical background along with an abundance of examples of specific analysis/design situations, and exposes readers to the most recent research and developments in the field. Covers basic digital communication and spread spectrum concepts, and features exceptionally complete treatments of important hot topics such as spectrum spreading sequences; the code acquisition and tracking process; the effects of jamming on spread spectrum communications and the use of coding/interleaving to combat the detrimental effects of jamming; designing spread spectrum systems for low probability of the intercept; and the design of code division multiple access systems, wit h examples. Contains a complete set of technical appendices. For electrical engineers and others with a background in linear systems and probability/random processes who want a cutting-edge overview of the principles, research, and developments of spread spectrum systems.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but exposition sometimes a bit convoluted, November 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Spread Spectrum Communications (Paperback)
This text offers a useful introduction to spread spectrum communications. However, I find its exposition of channel fading confusing, despite its very considerable length. Rappaport's text and Proakis' text are much more articulate on this topic. This text has useful chapters on frequency-hopped spread spectrum communications, covered from a defense-electronics point of view. While this text is a useful reference for me; I would use Proakis' "Digital Communications" as my starting point if I were to start learning spread spectrum again.
