Quadrature Amplitude Modulation 2e

Now fully revised and updated, with more than 300 pages of newmaterial, this new edition presents the wide range of recentdevelopments in the field and places particular emphasis on thefamily of coded modulation aided OFDM and CDMA schemes. Inaddition, it also includes a fully revised chapter on adaptivemodulation and a new chapter characterizing the design trade-offsof adaptive modulation and space-time coding.

Divided into four parts:

Part I: commences with a historical perspective andclassic schemes for the uninitiated

Part II: offers a deep discourse on adaptive QAMarrangements that have found their way also into the 3G system'sHigh Speed Data Packet Access (HSDPA) mode

Part III: details the advanced intricacies of adaptiveversus space-time block- and trellis-coded OFDM and MC-CDMA

Part IV: contains previously unpublished new researchresults. It commences with a theoretical chapter on the capacity ofwireless channels. The discussions then continue by contrivingsophisticated iterative coded modulation systems, such as TCM, TTCM, BICM, BICM-ID designed for turbo-detected QAM-basedspace-time coded OFDM and CDMA systems operating over wirelesschannels

In summary, this volume amalgamates a comprehensive textbookwith a deep research monograph on the topic of QAM, ensuring it hasa wide-ranging appeal for both senior undergraduate andpostgraduate students as well as practicing engineers andresearchers.
