Radio Engineering

Appropriate for all courses in radio design/engineering. Students with an electrical engineering background in basic circuit analysis, computer architecture, and communications will have sufficient background for all chapters in this book…

A cognitive radio is a transceiver which is aware of its environment, its own technical capabilities and limitations, and those of the radios with which it may communicate; is capable of acting on that awareness and past experience to configure itself in a way that optimizes its performance; and is capable of learning from experience.

Software radio ideally provides the opportunity to communicate with any radio communication standard by modifying only the software, without any modification to hardware components. However, taking into account the static behavior of current communications protocols, the spectrum efficiency optimization, and flexibility, the radio domain has become an important factor.

The book ‘Radio Engineering and Antennas’ is intended as a ready reference, study guide and a one-stop source for wireless communications professionals, practicing telecommunication engineers, technology professionals, engineering graduates and students.

A comprehensive, multidisciplinary overview of radio engineering. It should be useful to electrical engineers working in wireless communications and a host of other application areas, including sensors, navigation and radar.
