Interference Analysis and Reduction for Wireless Systems

This leading-edge resource offers you a new methodology for analyzing and studying the behavior of wireless communication systems in an interference environment. It provides you with modern tools and techniques for use in real-world applications that help you guarantee optimum system performance. The book treats both additive and multiplicative interfering signals, including in-depth descriptions of how these signals behave, regardless of the source.

Hands-ondetails are provided to help you categorize and quantify interference agents incommunications; to assist you in identifying design parameters of wirelesssystems which affect and can be affected by interference; to design and developquality metrics of wireless systems in an interference environment; develop newinterference suppression and mitigation techniques; and to design practicalinterference cancellers for wireless systems. Over 300 equations and 80illustrations support key topics throughout the book.
