Published by Wiley-Blackwell, the textbook Introduction to Wireless System Design, 1st Edition, offers undergraduate students, graduate students, practicing engineers, and programmers a complete guide to modern communication systems. The volume spans physical radio-frequency hardware design through application software implementation.

Transmitter coverage details specific hardware circuit blocks, including oscillators, modulators, buffer amplifiers, frequency multipliers, power amplifiers, and output filters, alongside transmitter power gain, efficiency, and harmonic suppression. Antenna design sections examine physical structures such as dipole, monopole, loop, beam-forming, patch, inverted-L, inverted-F, and meandered line configurations. For backend systems, server software chapters explain building dynamic web interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Coauthored by industry expert Henry Lau, CEO of Lexiwave Technology, Inc., this 320-page text connects low-level circuit operation directly to full-stack software development. It delivers focused support for university engineering courses and professional training programs for practicing software developers and field engineers.
