Rf And Baseband Techniques for Software Defined Radio (Repost)

Software defined radio (SDR) is an emerging form of radio architecture, which encompasses a wide range of design techniques in order to realize a truly flexible, and potentially future-proof, transceiver system. As a field, it is very broad, encompassing: systems design, RF, IF, and baseband analogue hardware design, digital hardware design, and software engineering. Covering all of these topics in sufficient detail to become a design reference would be a huge task, therefore, this book focuses on the former aspects of SDR, namely, systems design and RF, IF, and baseband analogue hardware design. It also includes an introduction to some of the digital hardware options for the baseband signal-processing element, although it does not attempt to provide detailed design information in this area.
