Abstract

From the Publisher:The expansion of wireless communication in the last 5 to 10 years has been astounding. It is most visible in telecommunications products and services such as cellular telephones, portable telephones, direct broadcast satellite transmissions, and pagers. However, another aspect of the wireless revolution, also forging its path to the future, is the field of short-range radio frequency (RF) communication. We can see its influence in security systems, computer accessories such as the untethered mouse, home automation, emergency call buttons for the sick and elderly, wireless local area networks (WLAN), and radio frequency identification. These applications can be distinguished from the telecommunication services by their short range, typically only up to several hundred meters. Exciting new technologies are coming to fruition right now, the two most promising coming from the 'Bluetooth' standard and the SWAP (Shared Wireless Access Protocol)--with both of these, consortiums of major electronics and communications companies are working to develop wireless digital communication between personal computers, peripherals, and consumer electronic devices around the home and office, using short-range RF. There are virtually no technical books devoted to short-range radio and there is beginning to be a huge need for more published information. This book was written to give a basic but comprehensive understanding of radio communication to a wide base of technically oriented readers who either have a curiosity to know how wireless works, or who will contribute to expanding its uses. Book rights Lewis Lewis & Helms LLC, the publisher of this e-book, is granting readers the right to print the entire e-book once a year and to copy up to ten pages of the book each day. To print, click on the menu button in the Glassbook Reader and select the print option. To copy, highlight the text you wish to copy, then click on the menu button and choose copy. Lending/Giving We currently have two ways to lend or give a book: you can beam it to a computer if both have infrared ports, or you can send it to a computer on your network. To lend a book to someone else, go to the Library, click a book. Click the Menu button and then click Lend/Give to display the Lend/Give dialog box. Choose a loan period or click Give. To send the book over an infrared connection, click Beam. To send the book to a computer on the network, enter the computer name in the Send To box and click Send. You can either lend the book or give it away. Like a paper book, there is only ever one working copy. Once the lending period expires, you get your rights back and you can re-read the book or lend it again. Of course, if you give it away, it's gone for good (unless the recipient gives it back).
