As we enter the 21st century, the use of wireless communication technologies – including cellular radio, personal communication systems (PCS), satellite phones, paging systems, wireless models and local-area networks (LANs), plus multipoint distribution systems (LMDS) for wireless delivery of television and internet service – is exploding rapidly! Wireless Communication Technology, provides the basic and straightforward electronics information users need to understand the ins and outs of each of these new and emerging wireless communications technologies. The in-depth technical discussions, combined with numerous examples and problems, provide ideal preparation for anyone seeking “hot” jobs in this rapidly expanding segment of the communications field.
