Lecture 1: Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction to Wireless Communication Systems Introduction “It is dangerous to put limits on wireless.” - Guglielmo Marconi, 1932 There has been tremendous growth in wireless in the past 10 years. Even more in Europe and Asia than North America Driven by technological advances – digital and RF circuit fabrication improvements, large scale circuit integration, miniaturization technologies, digital switching Driven by business investment – although overinvestment has created bad profitability recently. Driven by consumer demand – Regardless of current business profitability, the growth rate in terms of numbers of customers is substantial. The ability to communicate wirelessly is of obvious benefit to many. What are some of the benefits? I. History Wired Communications 1834 - Gauss and Weber build telegraph system in Germany 1844 - Morse connects Baltimore and Washington by telegraph 1858 - First transatlantic telegraph cable laid 1876 - Alexander Bell demonstrates telephone 1911 - New York can telephone Denver Wireless Communications --Not so “new” Had slow growth at first compared to other inventions. But now is growing very rapidly. 1899 - Marconi sends first radio message across Atlantic 1905 - Hulsmeyer detects ships with radar 1927 - US Europe telephones linked by HF radio 1934 - AM mobile police radios for public safety widely used 1935 - Edwin Armstrong demonstrates FM radio system, became the primary modulation technique. 1940 - First microwave radar 1965 - First commercial communication satellite 1968 - ATT proposes cellular phone system to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 1983 - FCC allocates spectrum for analog cellular service (AMPS) 1990 - GSM digital cellular service introduced in Europe 1995 - FCC auctions new Personal Communication Service (PCS) licenses in U.S. for digital services 1998 - 40 million cellular phone users in U.S. 2000 - In some countries, mobile users outnumber conventional wireline custom
