The text contains all the essential elements of communication
principles, devices, circuits, antennas, and systems covering the
electromagnetic spectrum from KHz to MHz of radio frequency (RF) that
was developed in the formative stage of wireless technology. Also, the
digital revolution, that has changed the landscape of modern
electronics for wireless technology, has been discussed emphasizing
the fundamentals including digital computers. The presentation of the
book is in a concise yet complete way and stresses the physical and
technical aspects with application viewpoints but using minimum
possible mathematics. The book: Discusses the historical background of
different developments of wireless technology from KHz to MHz and
going through the GHz to THz in due perspective to provide a holistic
view of the development of wireless technology from its inception to
contemporary times. Contains in brief the basic concepts of
electromagnetism like Maxwell’s wave equation, evanescent waves,
surface waves, plasmonic waves that are used in wireless technology in
some form or the other. Highlights the need for modulation and covers
various modulation techniques such as continuous wave and pulse
analogue modulation and modulation/demodulation systems that were
developed in the formative stage of the development of wireless
technology in the RF frequency range of KHz to MHz. Discusses the
physical concepts and application view-points of active devices, RF
transmission lines, antennas and systems used at KHz to MHz frequency
domain of wireless technology. Covers the digital revolution that has
changed the wholesale electronic systems of modern wireless
technology, and the development of digital computers has also been
discussed with a brief overview of laptops, supercomputers, and
upcoming quantum computers. This overall scenario of historical
perspective of wireless technology from KHz to THz and technical
developments from KHz to MHz in the RF domain during the formative
stage of development of wireless technology including fundamental
developments related to digital revolution is expected to attract the
interest of the entry level students, research scholars,
professionals, and even the general readers alike with a new vision to
have a quick yet in-depth glimpse of the progress of wireless
technology since its inception till today. It is primarily written for
junior undergraduate students in the fields of electrical engineering,
electronics and communication engineering, wireless communication,
telecommunication, and computer engineering. Research scholars and
professionals can also refresh their idea of the developments of
wireless technology during its formative stage and can get a flavour
of the route to modern developments that have taken place henceforth.
