Platform Interference in Wireless Systems

Intra-system EMC problems are mobile phones, 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 the electromagnetic theory (including Maxwell's equations), discusses possible sources, and causes of intra-system interference. 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 a 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 of the shielding and signaling materials)
* Discusses modeling and analysis methods to predict likely sources of the EMC intras-system
* Explains test and measurement techniques to detect intra-system EMC problems.
