Breaking down complex technology into easy-to-understand concepts, this hands-on, system-level resource offers RF (radio frequency) and wireless system engineers expert guidance in designing, optimizing, and operating a CDMA2000 wireless network.

CDMA2000 is of critical interest to wireless communications professionals because this 3G (third generation) standard provides for faster data rates, always-on data service, and improved voice network capacity. Breaking down complex technology into easy-to-understand concepts, this hands-on, system-level resource offers RF (radio frequency) and wireless system engineers expert guidance in designing, optimizing, and operating a CDMA2000 wireless network. Offering a deeper, richer treatment of critical topics than other books in this area, this unique reference concentrates on "how" and "why" the technology works rather than just providing descriptions of features. From technical requirements of 3G networks and relevant CDMA2000 features, to system performance, design and architecture, the book focuses on practical engineering knowledge that can be readily and immediately applied to the professional's work in the field.
