Produktbeschreibung
This handbook provides comprehensive knowledge on device and system technologies for seamlessly integrated networks of various types of transmission media such as optical fibers and millimeter and THz waves to offer super high-speed data link service everywhere. The seamless integration of the knowledge of radio and optical technologies is needed to construct wired and wireless seamless networks. High-frequency bands such as millimeter-wave and THz-wave bands where super wideband spectra are available can offer high-speed data transmission and high-resolution sensing. However, the expected coverage is limited due to large wave propagation loss. Thus, convergence of radio and optical links is indispensable to construct worldwide networks. The radio and optical technologies share the same physics and are closely related to each other but have been developed independently. Therefore, there is a big gap between these two fields. Bridging the two fields, this handbook is also intended asa common platform to design integrated networks consisting of wireless and wired links.

Full coverage of wireless and wired convergence fields ranging from basics of device and transmission media to applications allows the reader to efficiently access all the important references in this single handbook. Further, it also showcases state-of-the-art technology and cases of its use.

Autorenporträt
Tetsuya Kawanishi (Fellow, IEEE) received the B.E., M.E., and Ph.D. degrees in electronics from Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan, in 1992, 1994, and 1997, respectively. From 1994 to 1995, he was with the Production Engineering Laboratory of Panasonic. During 1997, he was with the Venture Business Laboratory, Kyoto University, where he was engaged in research on electromagnetic scattering and on near-field optics. In 1998, he joined the Communications Research Laboratory, Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (now the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, NICT), Tokyo, Japan, where he was the Director of Lightwave Devices Laboratory of NICT. During 2004, he was a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California at San Diego. From 2015, he is a professor of Faculty of Science and Technology, Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan. His current research interests include high-speed optical modulators, RF photonics and THz communications. He is the chair of Task Group on Fixed Wireless Systems and Ground Based Radar Systems (TG-FWS/GBRS) in APT Wireless Group (AWG). From 2017 to 2019, he was a member of Board of Governors of IEEE Photonics Society.
