his book covers basic communications theory and practical imple-
mentation of transmitters and receivers. In so doing, I focus on dig-
ital modulation, demodulation methods, probabilities, detection of
digital signals, and spread spectrum system design and analysis. This book
was written for those who want a good understanding of the basic prin-
ciples of digital wireless communication systems, including spread spec-
trum techniques. This book also provides a good intuitive and practical
approach to digital communications. Therefore it is a valuable resource for
anyoneinvolvedinwirelesscommunicationsandtransceiverdesignfordig-
ital communications. The reader will gain a broad understanding of basic
communication principles for transceiver design, digital communications,
and spread spectrum, along with examples of many types of commercial
and military data link systems.
To fully utilize the available spectrum for a wireless communication
system it is feasible to adapt to different situations
on the channel. In this paper a flexible OFDM
transmitter is presented together with basic theory behind
OFDM transmission. It is shown that high flexibility can
be obtained with a reasonable amount

of additional hardware.
Part of the design, the FFT-processor, has already
been fabricated and measurement results are presented.
