Book Description

Publication Date: October 16, 1998 | ISBN-10: 0125507216 | ISBN-13: 978-0125507219 | Edition: 1

Volume One of the Wireless Communications Design Handbook provides an in-depth look at interference problems in satellite communications. The material presented is from a satellite or spacecraft hardware point of view rather than from theoretical models. Each satellite subsystem is described in detail to point out interference and noise problems associated with it. The book also addresses typical architectures and hardware design issues in satellites. In addition, a detailed look at space interference is discussed with emphasis on the possible impact on satellite electronics.

Key Features
* An applications-oriented reference for engineers, system designers, and practitioners
* Addresses the most common interference concerns in ground mobile wireless communications systems
* Hardware-oriented approach to interference and noise concerns as well as satellite subsystem design
* All satellite subsystems described in great technical detail
* Significantly covers space interference with a slanted approach to satellite hardware effects
* Covers modern hardware design for low earth orbit satellites to be used in wireless communications

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

The first in a series of three volumes, Space Interference provides an in-depth look at interference problems in satellite communications. Presented from an applied satellite or space craft-oriented point of view, rather than from the theoretical models perspective, each satellite subsystem is described in enough detail to point out the interference and noise problems associated with it. Structured to allow those involved in satellite-based wireless communications systems design to address practical interference problems at the hardware level in the early stages of the design and development process, this hardware-oriented approach will prevent interference issues from rising to levels that could affect satellite performance in the later stages of development, where costs and schedules are of primary concern. Satellite engineers will be able to obtain a comprehensive view of interference concerns that arise at each subsystem development.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful in Real Mass Production!!, April 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wireless Communications Design Handbook, Volume 3: Interference into Circuits: Aspects of Noise, Interference, and Environmental Concerns (Hardcover)

When I first saw this book, I was very astonished. I think its content is very useful to many engineers dealing with wireless communications product. This book has many useful analysis and tips which we must consider in mass-producting wireless product such as CDMA, PCS phones. In RF and Mass Product world, noise, interference and Environment is very important and this book deals with it. In short, it will be very helpful practically.
