This new book presents the complete design background of a CDMA handset, including hardware and software, digital, analog and RF, in one complete, convenient volume. You get an integral understanding of where this essential piece of communications technology fits into the CDMA big picture and what the basic parts are that make it work. Such an approach provides you with a complete understanding of how handset hardware and software design affect system performance. CDMA Mobile Radio Design includes an overview of mobile communications principles and covers the basics of direct sequence spread spectrum communications systems before delivering a comprehensive look at the digital signal processing and software functions of a typical CDMA handset. By examining the vital link between hardware performance and system specifications, you get insight into the tradeoffs to be made during design, simulation, and production. The book: Details the DSP algorithms and the RF circuits included in the mobile radio; Investigates third generation (WCMDA) wireless standards and their impact; Examines advances that are certain to occur in future mobile radio design. In addition, this book presents the full impact that key circuit and device approaches have on typical CDMA system operation by examining the individual building blocks of the CDMA handset. A detailed discussion of modulation techniques, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion, and the radio frequency portion of the handset are included.
