Wireless technologies have been evolving enormously over the last couple of decades. This ever-changing communication industry is in severe need of a highly skilled workforce to shape and deploy future generation communication systems. Therefore, well-designed training is needed to satisfy the telecommunication industry's thirst for resilient professionals. Distinguished telecommunication engineers must have a solid understanding of the fundamental theory, an ability to translate this theoretical knowledge to numerical implementation, and the capability of implementing them in hardware. Also, they must be equipped with independent thinking and creative problem-solving skills to pioneer future telecommunication systems. Furthermore, these prodigious engineers have to express their ideas clearly and function effectively on a team.
In this book, wireless communication systems and concepts are introduced from a practical and laboratory perspective with a goal to provide readers valuable experience to analyze wireless systems (along with wireless circuits) using modern instrumentation and computer-aided design software. The book is aimed to provide readers the knowledge to understand basic theory, software simulation, hardware test and modeling, system and component testing, and software and hardware interactions and co-simulations.
This book aims to cover the following main categories:
The objectives and overarching goals of the book can be listed as:
This book is intended to provide both introductory theoretical aspects for beginners and advanced technical overview of practical aspects intended for university graduate and undergraduate students, technical professionals in the communications industry, technical managers, and researchers in both academia and industry. The book addresses concepts that are useful in several disciplines including digital baseband signal processing, radio frequency (RF) and microwave engineering, wireless communication systems, digital communications, antennas and propagation, radio frequency integrated circuits, machine learning-aided wireless communications, etc. In this respect, this is one of the rare books that bring many disciplines together.
Basic background of wireless communications and digital communications is preferable for a full understanding of the topics covered by the book.
The book is structured in such a way that it can be used in support of various wireless courses at all levels and can serve as a reference for research projects of both undergraduate and graduate students. This book complements traditional theoretical textbooks by introducing some practical aspects and hands-on experiments.
The book provides an organic and harmonized coverage of wireless communication systems from radio hardware and digital baseband signal processing, all the way to testing and measurement of the systems and subsystems. Within this framework, the book chapters are quite independent from one another. Even though each chapter is self-contained, there is very good harmony between chapters and all the chapters complement each other. Therefore, different options are possible according to different course structures and lengths, as well as targeted audience backgrounds. The topics are covered in both descriptive and technical manners and can therefore cater to different readers needs. For each chapter we expect that a reader may skip the advanced technical description and still greatly benefit from the book.
The author of the book has been teaching a wireless laboratory course since 2007. This book is the result of the experience gained through this laboratory course. Hence, the book is structured in a way that it can be used as a text material for this course and for similar courses. The book can also be used to teach practical aspects of digital communication courses. Several laboratory-based teaching (in-lab or online) implementations can be applied utilizing the book. The following are some of the options among many:
The book is structured with the following chapters:
This book was made possible by the extensive support of numerous individuals and organizations throughout the career of Dr. Arslan. The adventure started with Ericsson research where Dr. Arslan has learned applied and practical research upon completing his PhD. Ericsson research laboratory has taught him the real meaning of communication theory, advanced digital baseband algorithm design, and wireless communication. Even though the time at Ericsson was extremely rewarding, something was missing. He was not able to connect the digital world with the RF front-end. He has learned hardware and RF first through interactions with his colleagues at the Electrical Engineering Department of USF, special thanks to wireless and microwave group and its members. But the significant leap came with his interaction with Anritsu Company. He had the pleasure of working with Anritsu for several years, and during this period he was able to connect the digital world with the RF world. He has also learned the importance of the test equipment in the design of wireless communication systems. Still something was missing, he was always a part of a subsystem. He did not design a complete end-to-end system. He has finally learned how to design an end-to-end communication system during his interactions with the great research institutions of Tubitak. He had the opportunity of designing several standard based and propriety systems. Dr. Arslan is deeply indebted to all these companies and institutions for giving him the opportunity to learn. One of the best parts of being a university professor is the opportunity for lifelong learning. He was very lucky to have great graduate students and he has learned a lot from them. This book and many things that he has achieved would not have happened without them. Some of them are actively involved in the writing of some of the chapters in this book. Others who are not actively involved also contributed one way or another, at the minimum by taking the wireless laboratory course and being involved in the course. The teaching assistants over the span of 13 years deserve a big credit for making this book a reality. Especially, he would like to thank Alphan Şahin (who is now a professor in USC) and Ali Fatih Demir for their great feedback. Also, all the students who have taken the class and provided extensive feedback deserve his appreciation. Finally, he would like to thank his family for their love, support, and constant encouragement.
