Product Description
Product Description
Antennas and propagation are of fundamental importance to the coverage, capacity and quality of all wireless communication systems. This book provides a solid grounding in antennas and propagation, covering terrestrial and satellite radio systems in both mobile and fixed contexts. Building on the highly successful first edition, this fully updated text features significant new material and brand new exercises and supplementary materials to support course tutors. A vital source of information for practising and aspiring wireless communication engineers as well as for students at postgraduate and senior undergraduate levels, this book provides a fundamental grounding in the principles of antennas and propagation without excessive recourse to mathematics. It also equips the reader with practical prediction techniques for the design and analysis of a very wide range of common wireless communication systems.
Including:
- 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.
Key second edition updates:
- New chapters on Antennas for Mobile Systems and Channel Measurements for Mobile Radio Systems.
- Coverage of new technologies, including MIMO antenna systems, Ultra Wideband (UWB) and the OFDM technology used in Wi–Fi and WiMax systems.
- Many new propagation models for macrocells, microcells and picocells.
- Fully revised and expanded end–of–chapter exercises.
- The Solutions Manual can be requested from http://www.wiley.com/go/saunders—antennas—2e

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.
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. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
