Surface Acoustic Wave Devices for Mobile and Wireless Communications, Four-Volume Set

From Book News, Inc.
A thorough exploration of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, with a theoretical and experimental emphasis. Topics include the fundamentals of piezoelectricity and acoustic waves, the principles of linear-phase SAW filter design, compensation for second-order effects in SAW filters, SAW reflection gratings and resonators, RF and antenna-duplexer filters for mobile/wireless transceivers, and surface wave oscillators and frequency synthesizers. Previous experience with SAW is not required. Intended for students as well as professionals in the industry. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR


Book Description
Written for readers with or without surface acoustic wave (SAW) experience, this book covers a wide range of SAW filter- and device-design techniques as well as applications to mobile and wireless circuitry. It provides numerous references and worked examples on SAW devices to highlight various design aspects, and contains illustrations from many leading electronic companies around the world. The first half of the book covers the principles of SAW devices. The secondhalf focuses on applications to the mobile/wireless field, including SAW devices for antenna duplexers, RF and IF filters for cellular cordless phones, front-end filters for wireless transceivers, fixed and tunable oscillators, filters for on-board satellite communications, as well as coding and convolvers for indoor/outdoor spread-spectrum communications.
Surface Acoustic Wave Devices for Mobile and Wireless Communications serves as an excellent sourcebook for engineers and designers with some SAW background, or for technical staff with no prior knowledge of SAW devices who need to know how this technology can help their products. It can be used as a textbook for senior and graduate students engaged in the study of signal processing techniques and systems for mobile communications.

Key Features
* First SAW text applied to mobile and wireless communications
* Written by an award-winning researcher with over 20 years of SAW device experience
* Presents the theory and design of major SAW devices for mobile/wireless communications as applied to some of the major telecommunication standards
* Accessible to both engineering and scientific readers with or without prior SAW device knowledge

From the Back Cover
Written for readers with or without surface acoustic wave (SAW) experience, this book covers a wide range of SAW filter-and device-design techniques, as well as application to mobile and wireless communications circuitry. Numerous references and worked examples on SAW devices are given throughout the book to highlight various design aspects, together with illustrations from many leading electronic companies around the world.

The book is divided into two parts. Part I is devoted to the principles of SAW devices, while Part II focusses on applications to the mobile/wireless field. These include SAW devices for antenna duplexers, RF and IF filters for cellular and cordless phones, front-end filters for wireless transceivers, fixed and tunable oscillators, filters for optic fiber-optic clock recovery, Nyquist filter for digital microwave radio, channelizing filters for on-board satellite communications, as well as coding and convolvers for indoor/outdoor spread-spectrum communications.
