Undersztand every aspect of modern wireless system design
From the antenna to the baseband level - David Pozar's MICROWAVE AND RF DESIGN OF WIRELESS SYSTEMS offers ther most completer and up-to-date presentation of the operation and design of modern wireless telecommunication systems.
Integrating a wide range of topics into one design-oriented framework, the text covers antennas and propagation, noise characterization of systems and components, digital modulation methods, and the design and operation of wireless components such as filters, amplifiers, mixers, and phase-locked loops. This comprehensive approach helps readers understand how the various technologies involved in wireless systems are interrelated.
The text builds on a strong foundation of fundamental principles, and offers many practical examples and design problems. You'll learn how to:
- Design modern wireless telecommunication and data transmission systems.
- Analyze a complete radio system, from the transmitter through the receiver front-end.
- Evaluate factors such as carrier-to-noise ratio, receiver noise figure, intermodulation products, spurious mixer products, image frequencies, dynamic range, Rayleigh fading, bit error rate, and maximum data rate.'Solve real-world, design-oriented problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great RF book,
This review is from: Microwave and Rf Design of Wireless Systems (Hardcover)
This book covers a wide range of knowledge needed to get started on RF engineering field. It covers background theories in wireless technology, transmission lines, antennas, filters, amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, some modern modulation techniques, and also transceiver architecture.Although this book does not provide in depth coverage on those topics, it still provides enough background for begineers to get started in radio design with discrete components. Many practical examples are given including low noise amplifier design and practical filter transformation (Kuroda transformation) into microstrips. One great thing about this book is its completeness from transmitting end to receiving end, which provide readers with better overall picture on what is needed in RF design.

Introductory Material. Little Technical Details,
By M. M. Rizvi (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microwave and Rf Design of Wireless Systems (Hardcover)
This book gives brief introduction to many important aspects of RF and uW engineering. There are very little mathematical derivations and technical explainations. I'd suggest buying Microwave Engineering by the same author (David Pozar) which is an excellent book on the subject

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microwave and Rf Design of Wireless Systems (Hardcover)
Very hard to learn from, maybe not bad for someone with experience in the field. I did really well in the class, but that was only from pounding away at homework problems.
