RF Measurements for Cellular Phones and Wireless Data Systems

The only source for practical, real-world information on RF
measurements for cellular phones and wireless data systems

It is predicted that by the year 2010, all digital wireless
communications equipment--including cellular, PCS, and 3G
phones; wireless LANs; GPS navigation systems; and DBS
TV--will have data transfer capabilities of over 1 Mbps. Now,
as this significant turning point quickly approaches, this book
presents everything industry professionals need to know about the
Radio Frequency (RF) measurements and tests that must be made on
this new generation of digital wireless communications
equipment.

Presenting just enough theory as is absolutely required for
comprehension, RF Measurements for Cellular Phones and Wireless
Data Systems:

* Provides a review of basic RF principles and terminology

* Describes RF measurement equipment, including signal generators,
power meters, frequency meters, vector network analyzers, spectrum
analyzers, and vector signal analyzers

* Explains the RF devices that are used in cellular phones and
wireless data transmission equipment--how they work, what
their critical performance parameters are, how they're tested, and
typical test results

* Illustrates the testing of RF devices and systems with digitally
modulated signals that represent the voice, video, or data that the
RF wave is carrying

RF Measurements for Cellular Phones and Wireless Data
Systems has been written to serve as the industry standard for
RF measurements and testing. It is an indispensable resource for
engineers, technicians, and managers involved in the construction,
installation, or maintenance of cell phones and wireless data
equipment.
