Quadrature Amplitude Modulation

Since the first edition was published three years ago, there has been continued research into QAM systems. Now fully revised and updated, the second edition of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation presents the wide range of recent developments in the field and places particular emphasis on the family of coded modulation schemes such as OFDM and CDMA, both very hot areas of research. Specific areas covered include coded modulation performance in non-dispersive propagation environments, coded modulation assisted: channel equalized systems, CDMA, and space-time block coding. This second edition continues to provide an all-encompassing self-contained treatment of single and multicarrier QAM based communications.
