Microwave and Rf Design of Wireless Systems 1st Edition by David M. Pozar (PDF)

Description

David Pozar, author of Microwave Engineering, Second Edition, has written a new text that introduces students to the field of wireless communications. This text offers a quantitative and, design-oriented presentation of the analog RF aspects of modern wireless telecommunications and data transmission systems from the antenna to the baseband level. Other topics include noise, intermodulation, dynamic range, system aspects of antennas and filter design.This unique text takes an integrated approach to topics usually offered in a variety of separate courses on topics such as antennas and proagation, microwave systems and circuits, and communication systems. This approach allows for a complete presentation of wireless telecommunications systems designs.The author’s goal with this text is for the student to be able to analyze a complete radio system from the transmitter through the receiver front-end, and quantitatively evaluate factors.Suitable for a one-semester course, at the senior or first year graduate level. Note certain sections have been denoted as advanced topics, suitable for graduate level courses.

Editorial Reviews: From the Inside Flap Undersztand every aspect of modern wireless system designFrom the antenna to the baseband level – David Pozar’s MICROWAVE AND RF DESIGN OF WIRELESS SYSTEMS offers ther most completer and up-to-date presentation of the operation and design of modern wireless telecommunication systems.Integrating a wide range of topics into one design-oriented framework, the text covers antennas and propagation, noise characterization of systems and components, digital modulation methods, and the design and operation of wireless components such as filters, amplifiers, mixers, and phase-locked loops. This comprehensive approach helps readers understand how the various technologies involved in wireless systems are interrelated.The text builds on a strong foundation of fundamental principles, and offers many practical examples and design problems. You’ll learn how to: Design modern wireless telecommunication and data transmission systems. Analyze a complete radio system, from the transmitter through the receiver front-end. Evaluate factors such as carrier-to-noise ratio, receiver noise figure, intermodulation products, spurious mixer products, image frequencies, dynamic range, Rayleigh fading, bit error rate, and maximum data rate.’Solve real-world, design-oriented problems.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I want to preface this review: I’m no expert–just a grad student getting familiar with RF systems. But I do worry some of the material may be a bit dated, or maybe excludes some more recent developments. As an example, in the first chapter, Pozar discusses projections for the number of wireless devices there *will be* in 2000. From a consumer standpoint, it seems like a lot has changed since then in terms of wireless technology, and I wonder if standards and practices haven’t also evolved. In addition the professor of the course I was using this book for made a passing comment about the cellular material. So, ultimately, I’m led to think this book serves best as an introduction to the material. Of that, I think it does a great job walking the reader through the parts of the system, the role they play and how they affect the signal and noise, etc.I thought there were a good number of examples and, outside of some of the mixer and modulation sections, explained wireless systems and common components in a very straight forward and simple manner. It also covers a great number of topics in a very concise way. (This was the first textbook that I ever read cover to cover and I got through it pretty quickly.) Of course, if Pozar comes up with an updated edition or material (regarding my comments above), I might steer you towards that. But as it stands, I thought this was a great introduction and I definitely recommend this book.As others have said, if you want to delve more into certain topics (particularly transmission lines and Smith charts from Chapter 2, but also amps, filters, mixers, etc.), I highly recommend picking up Pozar’s other book, “Microwave Engineering”. For other, “brief”, texts that could serve as references for design work, I also recommend “Microwave Transistor Amplifiers: Analysis and Design” by Guillermo Gonzalez.

⭐Well written book – a little outdated, but overall the information doesn’t change that much over time (whether it’s 3G, 4G, or 5G, power is still measured in dBm and gain is still measured in dB)Highly recommended for high level system understanding of radios. There’s no mention of RADAR or passive components, which is a little disappointing, but for what it is, it’s a great book!

⭐Excellent book and is worth of the price. I bought it for a class and I did very well in that class, may be because of this book. I recommend for everyone who wants to know more about communications.

⭐Very hard to learn from, maybe not bad for someone with experience in the field. I did really well in the class, but that was only from pounding away at homework problems.

⭐Came fast and was in great condition. It was like new and that was what i wanted. exactly what i needed for class.

⭐This book covers a wide range of knowledge needed to get started on RF engineering field. It covers background theories in wireless technology, transmission lines, antennas, filters, amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, some modern modulation techniques, and also transceiver architecture.Although this book does not provide in depth coverage on those topics, it still provides enough background for begineers to get started in radio design with discrete components. Many practical examples are given including low noise amplifier design and practical filter transformation (Kuroda transformation) into microstrips.One great thing about this book is its completeness from transmitting end to receiving end, which provide readers with better overall picture on what is needed in RF design.

⭐A very interesting and very well written book. A great deal of examples give a good feel about useful implementations and the limitations of concepts.

⭐This book gives brief introduction to many important aspects of RF and uW engineering. There are very little mathematical derivations and technical explainations. I’d suggest buying Microwave Engineering by the same author (David Pozar) which is an excellent book on the subject
