Radio engineering refers to the study and development of devices which have been designed to operate in the radio frequency spectrum between 3 kHz to 300 GHz. This includes all devices that transmit or receive a radio wave, like two-way radios, mobile phones and Wi-Fi. Wireless technology is associated with the transmission of information between two remote points without the presence of any electrical conductor. Radio waves are the primarily used wireless technology in GPS units, satellite television, wireless headphones, etc. The application of radio engineering and wireless technology are present in diverse industries. This book aims to provide detailed information about the modern concepts and theories related to this field. It elucidates the innovative models around prospective developments with respect to radio engineering and wireless technology. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of these fields have also been included herein. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.

Based on the popular Artech House classic, Digital Communication Systems Engineering with Software-Defined Radio, this book provides a practical approach to quickly learning the software-defined radio (SDR) concepts needed for work in the field. This up-to-date volume guides readers on how to quickly prototype wireless designs using SDR for real-world testing and experimentation. This book explores advanced wireless communication techniques such as OFDM, LTE, WLA, and hardware targeting. Readers will gain an understanding of the core concepts behind wireless hardware, such as the radio frequency front-end, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, as well as various processing technologies. Moreover, this volume includes chapters on timing estimation, matched filtering, frame synchronization message decoding, and source coding. The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is explained and details about HDL code generation and deployment are provided. The book concludes with coverage of the WLAN toolbox with OFDM beacon reception and the LTE toolbox with downlink reception. Multiple case studies are provided throughout the book. Both MATLAB and Simulink source code are included to assist readers with their projects in the field.

The book introduces the basic foundations of high mathematics and vector algebra. Then, it explains the basic aspects of classical electrodynamics and electromagnetism. Based on such knowledge readers investigate various radio propagation problems related to guiding structures connecting electronic devices with antenna terminals placed at the different radar systems. It explains the role of antennas in process of transmission of radio signals between the terminals. Finally, it shows the relation between the main operational charactistics of each kind of radar and the corresponding knowledge obtained from the previous chapters.
