This work shows how to handle both Rayleigh fading and lognormal shadowing in coverage prediction, and how to estimate signal strengths and bit-error probability. It aims to teach the reader how to implement acceptance procedures that help determine whether a test plan will be cost-efficient and also how system coverage procedures will evolve in the coming years. Other chapters detail expressions for area coverage, models for median path, relations for the ratio of desired to undesired signal level, and how to establish communications distance. The disk contains FORTRAN source code which can be used to solve challenging formulas and propagation models.

4.0 out of 5 stars
land mobile system communication systems reference,
By A Customer
This review is from: Handbook of Land-Mobile Radio System Coverage (Artech House Telecommunications Library) (Hardcover)
Land-mobile systems are plagued by the eccentricities of the near-earth path. The mobile receiver is subject to uncontrollable noise sources, and thus Hess's attention to noise distributions is most helpful. Multiple path loss models are given and explained well. There is a Fortran disk in the back, but this language is of somewhat limited utility now. Perhaps the software should be translated to Visual Basic or C to have wider availability to reader/users.

This review is from: Handbook of Land-Mobile Radio System Coverage (Artech House Telecommunications Library) (Hardcover)
If you have a BSEE this will be a great book. For those of us who don't speak calculus, it's slow going. I think it provides very good coverage of a technical subject.
