The Trunked Radio and Enhanced Pmr Radio Handbook

by Boucher

The Trunked Radio and Enhanced Pmr Radio Handbook Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Trunked radio enables full-duplex radio communication using a single transmission frequency, making the technique more efficient in handling radio traffic. Written by an expert in this area, this book presents a much-needed discussion of trunked radio technology and its practical applications.

An Instructor Support FTP site is available from the Wiley editorial department.

Book News Annotation:

A reference for engineers and other professionals working in the field of trunk radio and enhanced public mobile radio (PMR). While material is aimed primarily at operators of large systems, principles outlined and methods developed are applicable to small systems. Use of mathematics has been limited to what is necessary for explanatory purposes only. Contains chapters on design, radio survey, base stations, filters and combiners, linking sites, MPT 1327 systems, Smartnet, Tetra, iDEN, analog and digital modulation, and coding, formats, and error correction. Includes appendices of reference tables. Boucher is a communications engineer and mobile technology consultant.
