State-of-the-art communications receiver technologies and design strategies This thoroughly updated guide offers comprehensive explanations of the science behind today’s radio receivers along with practical guidance on designing, constructing, and maintaining real-world communications systems. You will explore system planning, antennas and antenna coupling, amplifiers and gain control, filters, mixers, demodulation, digital communication, and the latest software defined radio (SDR) technology. Written by a team of telecommunication experts, Communications Receivers: Principles and Design, Fourth Edition, features technical illustrations, schematic diagrams, and detailed examples. Coverage includes: • Basic radio considerations • Radio receiver characteristics • Receiver system planning • Receiver implementation considerations • RF and baseband techniques for Software-Defined Radios • Transceiver SDR considerations • Antennas and antenna coupling • Mixers • Frequency sources and control • Ancillary receiver circuits • Performance measurement

An all-in-one, authoritative guide to receivers of all kinds-the unrivaled source for engineers and technicians working with radio communications systems. This updated edition includes DSP techniques and explains the basic workings of software radios. Covers everything from front end systems to frequency generators and controllers, and contains hundreds of illustrations, diagrams, and mathematical equations.

This system-level approach to transceiver design covers digital communications principles for military applications and translating those concepts for commercial applications. Topics include link budget, receiver and transmitter specifications, modulation, and spread spectrum.

CD-ROM contains: a software package for designing fiber-optic communication systems called "OptiSystem Lite" and a set of problems for each chapter.
