Radio Systems Engineering - Revised First Edition

• Introduction
• Antenna Fundamentals
• Propagation
• Noise
• Analog Modulation
• Digital Modulation
• Radio Link Analysis
• Two-Port Concepts
• Impedance Matching
• Amplifiers
• Linearity, Multistage Analysis, and Dynamic Range
• Antenna Integration
• Analog Filters & Multiplexers
• Frequency and Quadrature Conversion in the Analog Domain

• Appendix B: Characteristics of Some Common Radio Systems

Using a systems framework, this textbook provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the performance, analysis, and design of radio systems for students and practicing engineers. Presented within a consistent framework, the first part of the book describes the fundamentals of the subject: propagation, noise, antennas, and modulation. The analysis and design of radios including RF circuit design and signal processing is covered in the second half of the book.

Key features

• Numerous examples within the text involve realistic analysis and design activities, and emphasize how practical experiences may differ from theory or taught procedures. 
• RF circuit design and analysis is presented with minimal involvement of Smith charts, enabling students to more readily grasp the fundamentals.
• Both traditional and software-defined/direct sampling technology are described with pros and cons of each strategy explained.
