RF Signals

Abstract

RF signals offers the best overview of the best practices and innovative techniques in the art and science of RF signals design, signal structure, signal interpretation (which includes propagation, signal density, and absorption models) over the last 20 years in the literature of RF signals [1–144]. This is by all means not a small task considering the fact that the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Spectrum Monitoring handbook is suggested as a more appropriate reference and structure for discussion of geolocation signals and because the concepts and outdoor principles are well covered in ITU Spectrum Monitoring handbook [11, 12]. It covers all insight aspects including theoretical analysis, RF signals, signal techniques, key block diagrams, and practical principle signal interpretations in the frequency band from 100 MHz to 66 GHz. Dr. Progri reveals the research and development process by demonstrating how to understand and explain a good number of RF signals such as those used in wireless networks, mobile phones (or cellular networks), indoor geolocation systems, amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) radio, two-way radio, satellite radio, TV broadcasting, satellite TV broadcasting, digital video broadcasting (DVB), Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), etc. from basic diagrams to be utilized to the principle simulation examples and make recommendations for the future final products of geolocation of RF signals (GRFS) [1–144]. We are going to discuss all these signals here except indoor geolocation systems signals, which are discussed in a separate publication on Indoor Geolocation Systems: Theory and Applications, which will be published soon.
