WIRELESS DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS: REQUIREMENTS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND TEST

Coherent review of the basic parameters, specifications and test criteria encountered in wireless digital communications.

Unprecedented growth in communications services is sweeping the globe and revolutionizing the basic premises and boundaries of this industry. Efforts to provide cost-effective, quality services coupled with the latest regulatory actions have pushed the state-of-the-art from analog to digital, from Frequency-Division Multiple Access (FDMA) to Time- and Code-Division Multiple Access (TDMA and CDMA). Moreover, these changes encompass the entire range of communications services, including audio, video, television, and local and wide area networks (LANs, WANs). With this vast proliferation of communications systems and new technologies, it is imperative to understand the operating characteristics, specifications, and testing and evaluation criteria of this equipment.
This course provides an overview of wireless digital communications equipment in use today and focuses on the critical specifications and test parameters, test techniques, and test equipment.
