Based on fundamental principles from mathematics, linear systems, and signal analysis, digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms are useful for extracting information from signals collected all around us. Combined with today's powerful computing capabilities, they can be used in a wide range of application areas, including engineering, communications, geophysics, computer science, information technology, medicine, and biometrics. Updated and expanded, Digital Signal Processing with Examples in MATLAB, Second Edition introduces the basic aspects of signal processing and presents the fundamentals of DSP. It also relates DSP to continuous signal processing, rather than treating it as an isolated operation.New to the Second EditionDiscussion of current DSP applications New chapters on analog systems models and pattern recognition using support vector machinesNew sections on the chirp z-transform, resampling, waveform reconstruction, discrete sine transform, and logarithmic and nonuniform sampling A more comprehensive table of transformsDeveloping the fundamentals of DSP from the ground up, this bestselling text continues to provide readers with a solid foundation for further work in most areas of signal processing. For novices, the authors review the basic mathematics required to understand DSP systems and offer a brief introduction to MATLAB. They also include end-of-chapter exercises that not only provide examples of the topics discussed, but also introduce topics and applications not covered in the chapters.

OFDM-Based Broadband Wireless Networks: Design and Optimization Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm working on cross-layer design of OFDM based wireless system such as 802.16e and 802.11n. This book gave me a good overview of whole system from physical layer, MAC layer, to frequency planning. Basic concepts are clearly defined and key design issues are well investigated. This book is especially useful for those networking guys, like me, who want to move from networking layer down to physical layer to do cross-layer optimization. You may want to know physical layer but not every single detail. This book gives me a good abstraction of physical layer for OFDM as well as MIMO.

Wireless Broadband Handbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you do not have any technical experience in wireless and you are looking to get a grasp on the basic technology, applications, and market, I would recommend this book. Sit down read it through quickly then move on. If you have moderate wireless experience and are trying to get caught up on 2.5G and 3G technology and standards, this is NOT the book.
Beyond this point, I found that Bates repeated the same information time and time again without any new twist. I can not say that I will forget what he had to say, but he did not enrich the information. He also prognosticates based upon inspiration without any facts. After the latest "hockey stick market" bust, I would be careful basing any demand and penetration projections on historical information.
Finally, do not use the table of contents as an indicator of the depth of this book (like I did).

OFDM for Wireless Multimedia Communications (Artech House Universal Personal Communications) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are looking for a book that clearly explains the mysteries of OFDM and COFDM then, you will have to wait. This is not that book. Much is left to "as an exercise for the student." There is some generic stuff on coding but how it relates to multipath mitigation is not clear. There are no good pictures of spectrums. The effect of amplifier non-linearities is inadequately addressed. The concept of IFFT as applied to modulation is not explained in a way you can understand it quickly. The section on coherent and differential detection is uneven in the amount of detail and understandability. The whole book has in places either too much math or not enough. There is no section on performance that tells you what the end to performance might be. Good try but far from perfect.

A study of OFDM, including a comparison with other forms of single carrier modulation methods. It provides the design guidelines needed to maximise benefits from this technology. There is practical advice on how to plan, design and use OFDM to make wireless multimedia communications happen. It offers a solid base for assessing the performance of wireless OFDM systems; explains how OFDM signals are formed using the Inverse Fast Fourier Transform, how the cyclic extension mitigates the effects of modulation, and how windowing can limit out-of-band radiation; discusses the sensitivity of OFDM to synchronization errors; examines the basics of direct sequence and frequency hopping CMDA, helpful in understanding combinations of OFDM and CDMA; explains Multicarrier CDMA, various transmitter architectures, and the pros and cons compared to other CDMA techniques; and includes a discussion of the combination of OFDM and frequency hopping CDMA to get a multiple access system with similar advantages to direct sequence CDMA.

Signal Processing for Wireless Communications Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is the "BEST" book I have ever seen in wireless technology with "practical" physical layer design focus. It is not surprising to see the author coming from rich industrial experience, I can see that easily in the book. I highly recommend the book for physical layer designers.

Wireless Networking Technology: From Principles to Successful Implementation Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Are you a wireless networking system developer? If you are, then this book is for you! Author Steve Rackley, has done an outstanding job of writing a book which aims to give the reader a detailed insight into the wide variety of wireless networking technology available today.
Rackley, begins by introducing you to the logical and physical architecture of wireless networks. In addition, the author describes the basics of wireless communications. The author then focuses on what perhaps is the most important operating scale for wireless networks: The Local area Network. Next, he takes a detailed look at wireless networking technologies on the personal area scale, including Bluetooth, wireless USB, ZigBee, IrDA and Near Field Communications. Then, he looks at how the metropolitan area networking challenges of scalability, flexibility and quality of service have been addressed by wireless MAN standards, particularly WiMax. The author continues by looking at four emerging technologies: wireless mesh routing, network independent handover, gigabit wireless LANs and cognitive radio. Finally, he provides a quick reference guide to some of the key online information sites and resources relating to wireless networking.
This most excellent book provides the reader with sufficient depth to gain an understanding of the fundamentals and diversity of the principles of wireless networking technologies. Perhaps more importantly, this book will serve as a foundation on which, a discussion of the principal aspects of wireless network implementation can be grounded!
