This is an up-to-date publication that is addressed exclusively to fix broadband wireless systems.

In Fixed Broadband Wireless Communications, wireless consultant Dr. Douglas Morais introduces today's most advanced fixed broadband wireless solutions for delivering multi-megabit voice and Internet/data services from "long-haul" to "last mile" applications. Morais covers virtually everything working professionals need to know to implement reliable, high-performance systems, from basic theory to advanced optimization. He reviews signal formats, microwave propagation, link optimization, diversity, and point-to-point systems-both licensed and unlicensed. He then introduces state-of-the-art point-to-multipoint and mesh systems, covering TDD, FDD, TDMA, FDMA, CDMA, OFDM, OFDMA, MIMO, Adaptive Beamforming, and emerging standards such as WiMAX supported 802.16/16a and HIPERMAN.
