Spread spectrum and CDMA are cutting-edge technologies widely usedin operational radar, navigation and telecommunication systems andplay a pivotal role in the development of the forthcominggenerations of systems and networks.
This comprehensive resource presents the spread spectrum conceptas a product of the advancements in wireless IT, shows howand when the classical problems of signaltransmission/processing stimulate the application of spreadspectrum, and clarifies the advantages of spread spectrumphilosophy. Detailed coverage is provided of the tools andinstruments for designing spread spectrum and CDMA signalsanswering why a designer will prefer one solution overanother. The approach adopted is wide-ranging, covering issues thatapply to both data transmission and data collection systems such astelecommunications, radar, and navigation.
* Presents a theory-based analysis complemented by practicalexamples and real world case studies resulting in a self-sufficienttreatment of the subject
* Contains detailed discussions of new trends in spread spectrumtechnology such as multi-user reception, multicarrier modulation,OFDM, MIMO and space-time coding
* Provides advice on designing discrete spread spectrum signalsand signal sets for time-frequency measuring, synchronization andmulti-user communications
* Features numerous Matlab-based problems and other exercises toencourage the reader to initiate independent investigations andsimulations
This valuable text provides timely guidance on the currentstatus and future potential of spread spectrum and CDMA and is aninvaluable resource for senior undergraduates and postgraduatestudents, lecturers and practising engineers and researchersinvolved in the deployment and development of spread spectrum andCDMA technology.
Supported by a Companion website on which instructorsand lecturers can find a solutions manual for the problems andMatlab programming, electronic versions of some of the figures andother useful resources such as a list of abbreviations.
