Product Description

Product Description

Drawing upon his experience in building the first major CDMA network in North America, Samuel Yang explains the essentials of CDMA wireless technology, helping the reader acquire the knowledge needed to engineer and implement an IS-95 based CDMA system. Examining both the theoretical and practical side of CDMA engineering, this guide is designed for practicing RF and system engineers who should find the modular-oriented chapters on spread-spectrum multiple access technique, design and performance engineering, CDMA traffic engineering, and regulatory implications especially useful.

About the Author

Samuel C. Yang is currently a manager of the System Engineering group at AirTouch Cellular, where he played a key role in the design and commercialization of the first large-scale CDMA system in North America. He holds an undergraduate degree from Cornell University and two graduate degrees from Stanford University, all in electrical engineering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Source of Information, 25 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: CDMA RF System Engineering (Mobile Communications Library) (Hardcover)
My only complaint is that I wish I had found this text earlier. Written quite clearly, with excellent explanations, even to a mathematically challenged engineer like myself. I found the chapters on design and performance engineering particularly useful and well written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete, accurate, and to-the-point treatment, 9 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: CDMA RF System Engineering (Mobile Communications Library) (Hardcover)
Samuel Yang's "CDMA RF System Engineering" is a small but complete, accurate, and to-the-point treatment of the IS-95 version of CDMA. It is the best introductory text on the RF system engineering aspects of CDMA networks I have seen. After a quick but comprehensive review of the CDMA processes, radio propagation models, and sundry fundamentals of digital radio techniques; the author turns to the important details of the IS-95 protocol that must be understood in order to consider the RF engineering matters that take up the last third of the book. These system details include: QPSK and OQPSK, power control, handoffs, link structures, access techniques, and call processing. With the system aspects thus covered in an intuitive but rigorous way, the author gets right to the point as he considers the difficulties of RF system engineering: system design, PN management, noise management, and a thorough treatment of general network management techniques. The book is an excellent introduction to the broad subject of CDMA RF engineering for those new to the field.

5.0 out of 5 stars CDMA in IS95 standard!, 3 July 2001
By Chirca Liviu Mihai - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: CDMA RF System Engineering (Mobile Communications Library) (Hardcover)
This is a very good book for a RF Engineer which explains and treats very good CDMA in IS95 implementation. Very good step toward 3G (cdma2000, UMTS). To see more details about me don't hesitate to visit my web page:
