More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
If you need to maximize efficiency in wireless network planning an understanding of radio propagation issues is vital, and this quick reference guide is for you. Using real-world case studies, practical problems and minimum mathematics, the author explains simply and clearly how to predict signal strengths in a variety of situations. Fundamentals are explained in the context of their practical significance. Applications, including point-to-point radio links, broadcasting and earth-space communications, are thoroughly treated, and more sophisticated methods, which form the basis of software tools for both network planning and spectrum management, are also described. For a rapid understanding and insight into radio propagation, sufficient to enable you to undertake real-world engineering tasks, this concise book is invaluable for network planners, hardware designers, spectrum managers, senior technical managers and policy makers who are either new to radio propagation or who need a quick reference guide.

Essentials of Radio Wave Propagation,
By Jim Fraser (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essentials of Radio Wave Propagation (The Cambridge Wireless Essentials Series) (Hardcover)
Anyone with a technical interest in RF propagation should read this excellent book.
Starting from the basics, Christopher Haslett's explanations are clear and concise, and include the essential maths with practical examples that are easily understood. Systems used for radio, TV, mobile phone and satellite communications are all covered in sufficient detail to enable "real world" calculations to be done (and they do work - I use them to predict TV signal reception, and they give good correlation with actual measurements).

Alternate title: "See ITU-R...",
By G. Chastain "Engineer In Air and Missile Defense" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Essentials of Radio Wave Propagation (The Cambridge Wireless Essentials Series) (Hardcover)
I seldom have the desire to write any type of a review for a text that I would not recommend to someone else. However, I feel the need to say that if you are searching for a text to introduce you to radio wave propagation...just keep browsing. This is NOT the one to get. There is really very little of value here, in my humble opinion. This text has very little detail on any aspect of propagation and instead refers the reader to other works, such as the ITU-R publications, for further details, far too often. I was so relieved that I purchased it at a huge discount from a used bookseller.
I recommend the following texts: Propagation of Radiowaves, 2nd Edition (Electromagnetic Waves) Radiowave Propagation Introduction to RF Propagation |
