Platform Interference in Wireless Systems: Models, Measurement, and
Mitigation (c) by Newnes

The type of the release is: eBook
In the PDF format with ISBN: 0750687576 and Pub Date: April 01, 2008

Intra-system EMC problems are becoming increasingly common in mobile
devices, ranging from notebook PCs to cell phones, with RF/wireless
capbilities. These issues range from minor annoyances to serious
glitches which impede the functioning of the device. This book gives a
thourough review of electromagnetic theory (including Maxwell’s
equations), discusses possible sources and causes of intra-system
interference, shows to use models and analysis to discover potential
sources of intra-system EMC in a design, how to use appropriate tests
and measurements to detect intra-system EMC problems, and finally
extensively discusses measures to mitigate or totally eliminate
intra-system EMC problems. With more and more mobile devices
incorporating wirless capability (often with multiple wireless systems,
such as Bluetooth and WiFi), this book should be part of the reference
shelf of every RF/wireless engineer and mobile device designer.

*Throughouly describes sources of intra-system interference in
RF/wireless devices and how to minimize them for maximum device
performance
*Gives proven techniques for interference mitigation, ranging from the
simple (component placement and cable routing) to the advanced (such as
the use of shielding and signal absorption materials)
*Discusses modeling and analysis methods to predict likely sources of
intras-system EMC
*Explains test and measurement techniques to detect intra-system EMC
problems.
