Book Description

Presenting a complete reference to the basic concepts and design of wireless systems, this book focuses on the two key factors influencing the physical transmission aspect of wireless communications, namely antenna design and signal propagation. The author clearly explains concepts and processes, using specific examples and illustrations of observed phenomena. Coverage includes antennas, propagation, channel modeling, and overcoming channel impairments as well as statistics, probability, and stochastic processes.

3.0 out of 5 stars A sketchy book that leniently gets average, Nov 9 2003

Cancelled - See all my reviews

This review is from: Antennas and Propagation for Wireless Communication Systems (Hardcover)

This book is very sketchy.
Most of the subsections are incomplete, or very brief by omitting a lot of things.
The majority of the included formulas are lacking of any derivations or adequate explanation.
Some of the formulas are also incorrect and unjustified, like the array factor in p76.
Errors have been found on the newer edition (although the previous edition is correct).
For instance, Fresnel transmission coefficient is wrong for the parallel polarization.
This is not just a typo since the mistake is carried on the example 3.1 p37.
There are much better books on antennas and propagation out there.
I just bought this one as a requirement for my class, and I ended up reading other books to cover the missing spots.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a Good Book, Mar 6 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Antennas and Propagation for Wireless Communication Systems (Hardcover)

This book is bad, the topics are not in depth or well explained. Do not think to buy this book, if you are interested in the field of propagation buy "Mobile Radio Propagation Channel".

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless
The Table of Contents is great, it covers every topic needed for a wireless communications class. But it is deceiving, the topics are not in depth or well explained. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful standard derivative book
This book reviews antenna and propagation theory which is covered well elsewhere in the public output of others, but with a slant from a practitioner in the modern field of mobile... Read more
