Handbook of Radio Engineering and Wireless Technology

Book excerpt: Radio engineering refers to the study and development of devices which have been designed to operate in the radio frequency spectrum between 3 kHz to 300 GHz. This includes all devices that transmit or receive a radio wave, like two-way radios, mobile phones and Wi-Fi. Wireless technology is associated with the transmission of information between two remote points without the presence of any electrical conductor. Radio waves are the primarily used wireless technology in GPS units, satellite television, wireless headphones, etc. The application of radio engineering and wireless technology are present in diverse industries. This book aims to provide detailed information about the modern concepts and theories related to this field. It elucidates the innovative models around prospective developments with respect to radio engineering and wireless technology. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of these fields have also been included herein. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
