INTRODUCTION
Radio-frequency (RF) wireless communication systems have been around for many years with applications ranging from garage-door openers to satellite communication. The technologies cover a broad range of capabilities oriented toward different uses and needs. These technologies have been advancing at an unprecedented rate, and their impact is evident in our daily lives. Less wiring means greater flexibility and efficiency and reduced wiring costs. In many parts of the world, wireless communication is the fastest growing ...
