Software Radio: A Modern Approach to Radio Engineering (Prentice Hall Communications Engineering and Emerging Technologies Series)

About this book

Software-based approaches enable engineers to build wireless system radios that are easier to manufacture more flexible and more cost-effective. Software Radio: A Modern Approach to Radio Engineering systematically reviews the techniques challenges and tradeoffs of DSP software radio design. Coverage includes constructing RF front-ends; using digital processing to overcome RF design problems; direct digital synthesis of modulated waveforms; A/D and D/A conversions; smart antennas; object-oriented software design; and choosing among DSP microprocessors FPGAs and ASICs. This is an excellent book for all RF and signal processing engineers building advanced wireless systems.
