To the wonderful girls in my life: Sue Ellen, Bonny, Amy, Adeline, and Rose. You give me love and inspiration

This book targets undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals wanting an introduction to wireless communication systems. Wireless systems pervade all aspects of our lives. I have been an insulindependent diabetic most of my life. Recently, I got a continuous blood glucose monitor (). This monitor dramatically changed my life for the better due to the technologies presented in this book. Even though wireless systems have exponentially expanded over my lifetime, the future looks even brighter. Learning about wireless systems leads to a significant advantage over the uninformed.

My career in wireless systems covers a wide range of different projects in industry, government, and academia. I have taught courses in wireless communications, analog and digital communications, digital signal processing, probability and statistics, antennas, electromagnetics, softwaredefined radios, electronics, electromagnetic compatibility, optimization, and radar at six different universities and also presented many special topic short courses. I thought that my diverse background would prepare me for writing a book on wireless systems. Writing this book humbled me, however. Universities usually have one or more courses based on each chapter in this book. I learned a lot in the writing process, and I tried to convey very complex information as clear and simple manner as possible with plenty of pictures and examples.

This book has two parts: fundamentals (). The appendices provide some supplemental information for the reader. I relied on MATLAB for most of the computations and graphics. There are plenty of examples and pictures illustrating many different aspects of wireless technology in our lives. Even though I tried to simplify the concepts, students still need some knowledge in electromagnetics, math through calculus, probability, and linear systems.

The first half of this book delves into theory with many examples of practical applications. concerns many aspects of RF propagation from HF to mm waves.

I selected seven examples of wireless applications for the second half of the book. These examples make use of the theory introduced in the first half of the book.. Security and health effects of wireless systems concern users and designers.

I teach the first five chapters of the book and some of the systems described in the remaining chapters in my class. I like to have the students do plenty of MATLAB programming and use hardware experiments to enhance the theory. My students do final projects and make presentations in lieu of a final exam. I have students purchase RTL softwaredefined radios () to have some hardware to test the theory they learn. My goal is to prepare them for a job in the wireless technology sector. This goal makes this book unique.

I have extra material available for instructors who adopt this text in the form of PowerPoint slides, videos, and additional problems. Please contact the publisher to arrange for access.

I owe many thanks to the people who spent time reviewing portions of this book: Sue Haupt, Payam Nayeri, Bonny Turayev, Amy Shockley, Jake Shockley, and Mark Leifer. They pushed me to do better.
