CDMA RF System Engineering

by Samuel C Yang

Published 30 April 1998
Drawing upon his experience in building the first major CDMA network in North America, Samuel Yang explains the essentials of CDMA wireless technology, helping the reader acquire the knowledge needed to engineer and implement an IS-95 based CDMA system. Examining both the theoretical and practical side of CDMA engineering, this guide is designed for practicing RF and system engineers who should find the modular-oriented chapters on spread-spectrum multiple access technique, design and performance engineering, CDMA traffic engineering, and regulatory implications especially useful.

Here's a unique resource that provides professionals with an up-to-date understanding of how to plan, analyze, and design next-generation broadband wireless networks. This comprehensive book includes all the necessary background information needed to fully understand the material and places emphasis on practical engineering know-how that can be readily applied to designing OFDM-based systems. Engineers find detailed discussions on everything from the physical and media access control layers, to QoS and security functions. Rather than just offering simple explanations of standards, this invaluable book takes a close look at live, real-world systems, explaining how the technical features work and why they were adopted. Moreover, the author includes his own design frameworks and rules that have been developed through his own extensive research and experience.
