Energy and Bandwidth-Efficient Wireless Transmission

This book introduces key modulation and predistortion techniques for approaching power and spectrum-efficient transmission for wireless communication systems. The book presents a combination of theoretical principles, practical implementations, and actual tests. It focuses on power and spectrally efficient modulation and transmission techniques in the portable wireless communication systems, and introduces currently developed and designed RF transceivers in the latest wireless markets. Most materials, design examples, and design strategies used are based on the author's two decades of work in the digital communication fields, especially in the areas of the digital modulations, demodulations, digital signal processing, and linearization of power amplifiers. The applications of these practical products and equipment cover the satellite communications on earth station systems, microwave communication systems, 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA mobile communication systems, and 802.11 WLAN systems.>

Presents spectrally efficient modulation techniques and energy efficient transmission techniques -- and explains how to choose correct modulation formats and how to design a transmission system Outlines practical design methods, approaches, and solutions to spectrum and energy efficiency that have been used in real world applications Provides system design strategies and concepts to help readers overcome design challenges and acquire solutions Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
