About this book

This second edition reflects the changes that have taken place in this fast developing area in recent years.

By focusing on the desirable features of cellular radiotelephones, the book describes the basic functioning of present day cellular radio services in all parts of the world - from the USA to Scandinavia, the UK to Japan. This approach is especially adopted for the description of digital systems, where common fundamental features and requirements are carefully explained. Many new illustrations and tables are added to clarify the explanations.
