Synopsis

Antennas and propagation are the two key factors for the physical transmission aspect of wireless communication. Signal transmission can be influenced by antenna design and there are various factors that can and will influence the propagation of signals in wireless communication systems. This volume covers the basic concepts and design of wireless systems. It illustrates concepts by giving specific examples and illustrations of observed phenomena, followed by a description of the processes and concepts generally responsible. Worked examples with illustrations are featured extensively, and each chapter finishes with a set of questions to reinforce the reader's understanding. Many of the examples are practical system problems, putting the concepts in the real world of communication-system design and operation.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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
