Microeconomics or Modern Wireless Communication

Microeconomics: Essays in Theory and Applications

Author: Franklin M M Fisher

This book, the fourth volume of Franklin M. Fisher's collected articles, contains work in microeconomics stretching over four decades. Principal sections include essays on stability and disequilibrium, welfare economics and consumer theory, and applications of microeconomics. Topics include the decision whether or not to use statistical methods to adjust the census, and the economics of water in the Middle East, as well as the effect of computer reservations systems on airlines and the theory of united fund drives by charities. An autobiographical essay serves as an epilogue.

Modern Wireless Communication

Author: Simon Haykin

The rapid growth of wireless communications and its pervasive use are changing the way we communicate in some fundamental ways. Modern Wireless Communications distinguishes itself with the treatment of these techniques in depth and yet in a principled manner that can be taught at the undergraduate level. The order in which these techniques are treated follows the evolution of spectral utilization of the radio channel. As a consequence, much of the material in the book is presented in the order in which it was actually developed, giving students insight into the logic and need for each development.

Features of the Book
Each chapter includes:

• Examples with detailed solutions
• Problems that help the reader develop an improved understanding of the issues, along with the answers
• End-of-chapter problems that provide an abundance of additional examples, whose solutions will further help the reader develop a deeper understanding of the material covered
• Notes and References that guide the reader to related sources for further reading.
• Theme Examples, which discuss pertinent issues of practical relevance.

Modern Wireless Communications is indispensable both in a course on wireless communications or as a useful reference for practicing electrical engineers.
