The Definitive, Comprehensive Guide to Cutting-Edge Millimeter Wave
Wireless Design
"This is a great book on mmWave systems that covers many aspects of the
technology targeted for beginners all the way to the advanced users. The
authors are some of the most credible scholars I know of who are well
respected by the industry. I highly recommend studying this book in
detail."

Millimeter wave (mmWave) is today's breakthrough frontier for emerging
wireless mobile cellular networks, wireless local area networks,
personal area networks, and vehicular communications. In the near
future, mmWave applications, devices, and networks will change our
world.
In Millimeter Wave Wireless Communications, four of the field's
pioneers, including Theodore S. Rappaport, Robert W. Heath, Robert C.
Daniels, and James N. Murdock, draw on their vast experience to empower
engineers at all levels to succeed with mmWave. They deliver
fundamental, end-to-end coverage of all aspects of future mmWave
wireless communications systems.
The authors explain new multi-Gigabit per second products and
applications, mmWave signal propagation, analog and digital circuit
design, mmWave antenna designs, and current and emerging wireless
standards. They cover comprehensive mmWave wireless design issues for 60
GHz and other mmWave bands, from channel to antenna to receiver,
introducing emerging design techniques that will be invaluable for
research engineers in both industry and academia.
Topics include
- Digital communication: baseband signal/channel models, modulation,
equalization, error control coding, multiple input multiple output
(MIMO) principles, and hardware architectures
- Radio wave propagation characteristics: indoor and outdoor channel
models and beam combining
- Antennas/antenna arrays, including on-chip and in-package antennas,
fabrication, and packaging
- Analog circuit design: mmWave transistors, fabrication, and
transceiver design approaches
- Baseband circuit design: multi-gigabit-per-second, high-fidelity DAC
and ADC converters
- Physical layer: algorithmic choices, design considerations, and
impairment solutions; and how to overcome clipping, quantization, and
nonlinearity
- Higher-layer design: beam adaptation protocols, relaying, multimedia
transmission, and multiband considerations
- 60 GHz standardization: IEEE 802.15.3c for WPAN, Wireless HD,
ECMA-387, IEEE 802.11ad, Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig)
