Product Description
Product Description
This will be a vital source of information on the basic concepts and specific applications of antennas and propagation to wireless systems, covering terrestrial and satellite radio systems in both mobile and fixed contexts. Antennas and propagation are the key factors influencing the robustness and quality of the wireless communication channel and this book includes:
* Illustrations of the significance and effect of the wireless propagation channel
* Overview of the fundamental electromagnetic principles underlying propagation and antennas
* Basic concepts of antennas and their application to specific wireless systems
* Propagation measurement, modelling and prediction for fixed links, macrocells, microcells, picocells and megacells
* Narrowband and wideband channel modelling and the effect of the channel on communication system performance
* Methods that overcome and transform channel impairments to enhance performance using diversity, adaptive antennas and equalisers
It will be essential reading for wireless communication engineers as well as for students at postgraduate or senior undergraduate levels.
Distinctive features of this book are:
* Examples of real world practical system problems of communication system design and operation
* Extensive worked examples
* End of chapter questions
* Topical and relevant information for and about the wireless communication industry

3.0 out of 5 stars
A sketchy book that leniently gets average,
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.

Not a Good Book,
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".
5.0 out of 5 stars
Very valuable book for the mobile communications engineer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Antennas and Propagation for Wireless Communication Systems (Hardcover)
This book covers the field of Antennas and Propagation consistently with great detail. The content is well structured and offers great information for every reader, regardless of technical background.
