Bridge the gap from existing regional wireless standards to the next generation global communication system with these selected readings, a companion text to Software Radio Architecture, by Joseph Mitola III. This single-source reference summarizes major trends in software radio technology by combining classic publications, cutting-edge overviews and promising research from leading experts in the field. The role of software and digital signal processing in radio has grown to encompass reconfigurability at all levels of the protocol stack. Research has ignited wider commercial interest in these concepts, which have been endorsed by all segments of industry, from software applications providers to component manufacturers. The software radio approach will increase software content for commercial wireless systems and is a potential solution to the need for increased efficiency in service delivery. This volume covers: * Concepts of software radio, including historical and theoretical foundations * Enabling technologies for realization of software radio, including radio frequency design, converter technologies, digital signal processing, and reconfigurable and programmable hardware structures * Systems and architectures based on software radio concepts * Software radio applications and economics * Emerging technologies SOFTWARE RADIO TECHNOLOGIES is an essential resource for researchers and practicing engineers seeking an in-depth treatment of technical issues raised by software radio architecture evolution. About the Editors Joseph Mitola III is known as "the Godfather of the Software Radio." He is one of the most highly cited authors in the field, contributing over two dozen technical papers as well as his recent text, Software Radio Architecture, the first interdisciplinary treatment of the subject and companion to SOFTWARE RADIO TECHNOLOGIES: SELECTED READINGS. Dr. Mitola edited the landmark May 1995 special issue of the IEEE Communications Magazine and the April 1999 Journal on Selected Areas in Communications on Software Radio. He began his career with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in 1967 and is presently a consulting scientist with the MITRE Corporation, advising the DoD on telecommunications and information-processing technology and policy. Zoran Zvonar, noted author and researcher, has served as editor and coeditor for many distinguished publications, including the International Journal of Wireless Information Networks, the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, GSM Towards 3rd Generation Systems and Wireless Multimedia Networks Technologies (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998 and 1999, respectively), among others. Dr. Zvonar is currently an associate editor of the IEEE Communications Letters and a feature editor of the Series on Software and DSP in Radio in the IEEE Communications Magazine. He is also a systems development manager in the Communications Division, Analog Devices Inc., involved in the design of algorithms and architectures for wireless communications.
