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

From the Author
Propagation prediction and antennas for wireless systems
Antennas and propagation are the key factors influencing the robustness and quality of the wireless communication channel. This book introduces the basic concepts and specific applications to wireless systems, covering terrestrial and satellite radio systems in both mobile and fixed contexts.

It includes illustrations of the significance and effect of the wireless propagation channel; an overview of the fundamental electromagnetic principles underlying propagation and antennas; the 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 by which the channel impairments can be overcome and transformed into an asset to performance using diversity, adaptive antennas and equalisers.

This book is a vital source of information for telecommunication engineers as well as for students of telecommunication at postgraduate or senior undergraduate levels.

Distinctive features of this book are:

examples of practical system problems that root the concepts in the real world of communication system design and operation;

extensive worked examples, providing potential to be adopted as a course book;

questions at the end of each chapter that help to reinforce and extend the reader’s understanding of the topics;

topical and relevant information for and about the wireless communication industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good educational book!!!, 8 Dec 2000
By A Customer
I find Simon's style of writing/explaining extremely good on an academic viewpoint. His book is an excellent tool for starting researchers and keen undergrad/postgrad students who want to get a sound understanding of some of the important aspects of propagation modelling in the wireless world of today. He does this avoiding Maxwell's equations and the book does not require the reader to have a detailed knowledge of applied statistics. ....A "must be on my shelf"......

5.0 out of 5 stars A few comments about this second edition ..., 17 April 2007
By Alejandro (Queretaro, MEXICO) - See all my reviews
This second edition brings together many interesting aspects which were not covered in the first edition. Keeping the mathematics to a minumum (which is one of the objectives of the authors), it covers all aspects of radiowave propagation with sufficient references for the interested reader, bringing new models for emerging technologies, which make it extremely useful for practical applications. Also, it devotes a great amount of pages to radio design and practical aspects from the vast experience of the authors in this field - something that is not often found in many text books of this type!

As far as antennas is concerned, it dedicates a whole new chapter on mobile antennas and discussed issues related to MIMO systems, a yet exciting technology which has reached its peak in the research world.

Finally, loads of solutions and worked problems are available for lecturers, which make it a definitely valuable source of information.

N.B. those seeking a more speficic book on antenna theory or radiowave propagation with a deeper mathematical background and emphasis should refer to other references.
