Digital Radio System Design

With a strong focus on design, Digital Radio System Design provides the necessary background to design and develop subsystems of digital radio communication systems or to integrate a full transceiver for a variety of applications. Such subsystems can be the radio front-end section, the radio-baseband interface, the digital baseband transceiver or even smaller subsystems like the image rejection mixer in the front-end, the synthesized local oscillator, or the digital synchronization system. The systematic synthesis of recent achievements in electronics and communications are described, aimed at the design of complex systems which require expertise in more than one area such as radio frequency electronics, communication theory and digital signal processing. It brings together the disciplines of communications, RF microelectronics and digital processing to enable the system designer to design in detail a full digital radio system from the antenna to the end-user interface. Comprehensively written, this book provides numerous examples, references, tables, illustrations and problems with solutions to facilitate the readers’ understanding.
