The Newnes Know It All Series takes the best of what our authors have written to create hard-working desk references that will be an engineer's first port of call for key information, design techniques and rules of thumb. Guaranteed not to gather dust on a shelf! RF (radio frequency) and wireless technologies drive communication today. This technology and its applications enable wireless phones, portable device roaming, and short-range industrial and commercial application communication such as the supply chain management wonder, RFID. Up-to-date information regarding software defined RF, using frequencies smarter, and using more of the spectrum, with ultrawideband technology is detailed. A 360-degree view from best-selling authors including Roberto Aiello, Bruce Fette, and Praphul Chandra Hot topics covered including ultrawideband and cognitive radio technologies The ultimate hard-working desk reference: all the essential information, techniques, and tricks of the trade in one volume

RF and Wireless Technologies: Know It All

Expert contributors drawn from the ranks of academia and industry have authored chapters in such areas as third-generation wireless, wireless sensor networks, RF power amplifiers, spread spectrum modulation, signal propagation, antennas, and other key subjects that engineers working in RF and wireless need to be familiar with. This is far more than just a tutorial or reference guide—it is a "guided tour" through the world of cutting-edge RF and wireless design, combining theory, applications, and philosophies behind the RF/wireless design process. The multiple and sometimes overlapping chapters reiterate and emphasize the fundamentals in the context of different types of wireless applications. Here are just a few benefits that readers will gain from reading this book: *A refresher and update of wireless principles and techniques. *Information about the latest (and forthcoming) RF and wireless circuits, products and systems. *Guidelines, approaches, and techniques to RF/wireless design. *Examples of typical applications with an emphasis on real-world situations including existing and forthcoming new components and integrated circuits. *Coverage of new and emerging wireless topics heretofore not widely covered in print (e.g. UWB, RFID, IR, etc.) * A comprehensive survey of current RF and wireless engineering practice * Heavy emphasis on practical applications and design guidelines * Multiple contributors assure a wide range of perspectives and avoids individual bias

Ultra-wideband Radio Frequency Identification Systems describes the essentials of radio frequency identification (RFID)systems as well as their target markets. The book covers a study of commercially available RFID systems and characterizes their performance in terms of read range and reliability in the presence of conductive and dielectric materials. The capabilities and limitations of commercial RFID systems are reported followed by comprehensive discussions of the advantages and challenges of using ultra-wideband (UWB) technology for tag/reader communications. The book presents practical aspects of RFID system such as: EPC global and ISO standards, implementation, and target markets in a simple and easy to understand language.
