چکیده
Wireless communication technologies are expected to constitute one of the most important growth businesses in the world electronics industry during the balance of the 1990s; current market projections are on the order of 50 % per year [1]. Digital wireless communications (DWC) systems are syntheses of numerous key and supporting technologies including wireless portable telephones, cellular telephone systems, portable personal computers, data communications (“datacom”), global positioning systems (GPS), digital signal processing (DSP), ultra-large-scale integrated (ULSI) circuits, silicon and gallium arsenide microwave semiconductors, phase-locked loops (PLLs), direct signal synthesis (DSS), and active digital filtering. Wireless communication technologies incubated in the 1970s, evolved in the 1980s, and are exploding in the 1990s. New technologies filling commercial bands [J. Res. Natl. Inst. Stand. Technol. 101, 797 (1996)]

program has been successful in making available to the community natural matrix materials that are very useful for the evaluation of radiochemical-measurement techniques. Traditionally, measurements of environmental radiological contamination have focused on the determination of total concentrations, a very useful tool for initial site characterization of impacted areas. It is clear, however, t...
