Full Description
Understand the technology that has reshaped global communication.
Wireless communication has transformed virtually every area of global technology, interaction, and commerce. The flow of information between transmitter and receiver without the aid of wires or cables has placed online and network communication on a revolutionary new footing, with ramifications that are still being felt. No communications or information professional can be without a working knowledge of this area of technology.
Energy Fundamentals of Radio provides an accessible, readable overview of this critical subject. It emphasizes the fundamental realities of wireless communication with respect to energy use and energy tradeoffs, surveys the major theories underlying wireless technology, and analyzes key 5G techniques that can minimize energy consumption. The result promises to be a standard introduction to the field.
Energy Fundamentals of Radio readers will also find:
Detailed discussion of topics including antenna theory, electromagnetic fields, sustainability, and more.
In-depth chapter on The Shannon Limit to demonstrate a key principle in the field.
Energy Fundamentals of Radio is ideal for any communications, networking, or information professional looking for a one-stop reference on wireless technology.
