Von der hinteren Coverseite

The radio frequency spectrum spans nearly 300 billion frequencies. Wireless Spectrum Management is an extraordinary book about spectrum allocation, a process adopted both internationally and domestically by the users of wireless services.

In this wide-ranging work, the author covers virtually all spectrum-dependent communications-electronic systems, including:
* Satellite communications
* Radar surveillance
* Point-to-point microwave
* Satellite communications
* Air-to-air and land- or sea-based ballistic missile systems
* VHF and UHF air-traffic-control systems
* Telemetry
* Weapon systems
* Ultra wideband (UWB), with discussion of technical factors affecting the properties and availability of key radio bands

This unique resource provides and interprets hard-to-find information on the properties and availability of key radio bands to encourage the rational use and conservation of spectrum/orbit resources. It focuses on engineering analysis throughout, detailing frequency management and frequency allocation approaches, tools, and methods that improve spectrum engineering, monitoring, and enforcement mechanisms.

For anyone who needs to master the prevailing concepts of spectrum management, understand the assignment processes adopted by various administrations’ regulatory structures, and grasp the amount of flexibility allowed spectrum users, the breadth of secondary markets, and their rules regarding interference, this book will prove an invaluable reference and working tool.
