Most books in wireless communications address technical subjects which are relevant to ground mobile systems. Volume 2: Terrestrial and Mobile Interference of the Wireless Communications Design Handbook addresses a topic frequently overlooked in ground mobile wireless system design: interference problems at the hardware level. This book employes a hardware-oriented approach, which is the most effective approach for addressing interference and noise problems in ground mobile wireless systems. The book is a practical reference for engineers who are particularly interested in practical case studies covering how to avoid undesired interference and noise problems in their designs. It covers some of the most common interference models usually addressed, and it describes material related to transmitter and receiver hardware design and how interference control plays a significant role in equipment performance. Each of the three Wireless Communications Design Handbook volumes addresses theory and immediate applications. Design issues are also considered in detail for the protection of wireless ground systems against interference. - An applications-oriented reference for engineers, system designers, and practitioners - Addresses the most common interference concerns in ground mobile wireless communications systems - Provides a hardware-oriented approach for addressing trasmitter and receiver interference issues, as well as ground mobile designs - Gives extensive detail regarding noise and interference control solutions for grounded wireless facilities - Details the space interference effect in ground mobile systems - Discusses hardware issues ranging from digital phones to ground stations

Grief can do terrible things to us. It can hold us still in time and skew our perspective. That is the case with William Maldonado, who grieves the loss of his father as a child to war; the loss of his mother as a young adult to an illness; the loss of an opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree, and the loss of his professional reputation to an accusation of committing insurance fraud. Subterranean sorrow leads Maldonado to make wrong-minded decisions that eventually lead him to prison and then to a half-way-house. One day, as he tries to understand his grief, he blames the world, and, in particular, a former business partner. Full of rage, he returns to the city where he experienced his deepest wounds. Upon his return, he discovers that his former business partner, now a Pentecostal minister, emerged unscathed from the insurance fraud scandal that sent him fleeing for a decade. That discovery thrusts Maldonado on a path of revenge and into the roiling world of church politics, where he joins a secession group that wants to fire his former partner. It takes the whims of fate and new friendships for Maldonado to experience clarity of purpose.

The need for controlling interference and limiting noise problems in wireless communications systems starts at the most fundamental levels of circuit design. When efficient approaches for noise control are implemented at the circuit level, it helps significantly to ensure the effective noise control for the overall system design. This book is a practical reference for engineers who are particularly interested in practical case studies covering how to avoid undesired interference and noise problems in their designs. It covers a significant number of chapters dedicated to different aspects of digital, analog, and mixed mode analog/digital design which are directly affected by noise and interference issues. Each of the three Wireless Communications Design Handbook volumes addresses theory and immediate applications. The approach followed is strictly hardware-oriented. The material presented provides a good, practical, and theoretical background of noise sources and their analysis, as well as methodologies for minimizing interference problems in electronic design. - An applications-oriented reference for engineers, system designers, and practitioners - Includes computational techniques for simulation - Addresses the most common interference concerns in wireless communications circuit designs - Presents a hardware-oriented approach for addressing analog, digital, and mixed-made interference concerns with a focus on design - Addresses noise sources, interference models, and design solutions simultaneously - Combines analytical and computer modeling for interference analysis - Addresses interference concerns from the IC level to the subsystem level

Volume One of the Wireless Communications Design Handbook provides an in-depth look at interference problems in satellite communications. The material presented is from a satellite or spacecraft hardware point of view rather than from theoretical models. Each satellite subsystem is described in detail to point out interference and noise problems associated with it. The book also addresses typical architectures and hardware design issues in satellites. In addition, a detailed look at space interference is discussed with emphasis on the possible impact on satellite electronics. - An applications-oriented reference for engineers, system designers, and practitioners - Addresses the most common interference concerns in ground mobile wireless communications systems - Hardware-oriented approach to interference and noise concerns as well as satellite subsystem design - All satellite subsystems described in great technical detail - Significantly covers space interference with a slanted approach to satellite hardware effects - Covers modern hardware design for low earth orbit satellites to be used in wireless communications
