About the Book
The latest in DSP, cellular, and software
radio design
From reception basics to cutting-edge
software radio design, Communications Receivers, Third Edition brings you
a storehouse of task-simplifying and task-clarifying information, examples,
and tips. Written by well-known experts Ulrich Rohde, Jerry Whitaker, and
Andrew Bateman, this guide covers everything from front end systems to
frequency generators and controllers. Topics are thoroughly illuminated
for you with hundreds of illustrations, diagrams, and mathematical equations.
You’ll learn the principles and practices
involved in receivers and receiver systems, antennas and antenna coupling,
amplifiers and gain control, mixers, frequency, oscillators, demodulation
and demodulators, digital signal processing, and much more. Discover for
yourself why this resource has been prized through two editions by professionals
and hobbyists for its ready-to-use insights on the theory and design of
all types of communications receivers -- including shortwave, military,
broadcast, and direction-finding.
