This comprehensive new guide brings you up to date on the key concepts, underlying principles, and practical applications of fast-moving cellular communication technology - presenting timely information that you can immediately put to use in tackling real-world design problems. Beginning with a concise description of the development and characteristics of cellular radio, the book quickly moves on to give in-depth coverage of the latest AMPS, TDMA and CDMA techniques and suggests new approaches to deployment issues, including: AMPS coexistence with TDMA and CDMA; Channel capacity and performance enhancement; Frequency planning; RF propagation prediction; Cost-effective cell-site deployment (for indoor/outdoor PCS and microcell); More than 200 detailed illustrations, over 300 equations, and numerous practical examples help clarify your understanding of FDMA, direct-sequence CDMA, and other vital engineering methods currently in use worldwide. Cellular Mobile Systems Engineering is an invaluable fingertip reference for engineers designing and developing cellular systems, managers involved in systems-planning, researchers, and instructors. It is also an excellent primer for final-year undergraduate and graduate-level engineering students.
