A description of propagation phenomena in urban, suburban and rural environments to help readers improve the efficiency of wireless communication systems. It considers the full algorithm for radio coverage prediction and cellular characteristic prediction to increase performance of radio and cellular map design. The book is designed to help wireless local hoop, stationary and wireless system designers construct radio coverage maps, predict cellular characteristics in communications channels, design and split cellular maps, and predict cellular systems performance in complex, urban environments. It includes analysis of free space propagation over regular and irregular terrain, reflection and diffraction by various obstacles, including hills, buildings and trees, as well as the effects of scattering due to such obstacles and terrain. It emphasizes behaviour of waves in the UHF/L-frequency band throughout.

About the Author
Nathan Blaunstein is an associate professor at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, where he specializes in radiowave propagation, diffraction, and scattering as applied to mobile-satellite and terrestrial communications, and for mobile and personal cellular services. He received his BSc. and MSc. in Radiophysics and Electronics from the State University, Tomsk, and his Ph.D. and DSc. in Radiophysics and Electronics from the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radiowave Propagation Academy of Sciences in Moscow, both in the former USSR.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Advance Tutorial on Electromagnetics/Propagation,
By Shay Wasser (Tel Aviv Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Radio Propagation in Cellular Networks (Artech House Mobile Communications Library) (Hardcover)
This books starts from the beginning of electromagnetics fundamentals to the essential rules of deploying a wireless or cellular network. It is a must reading material for every RF engineer or a wireless network system architect. This book is also ideal for an advance course in a masters program. Each chapter is dedicated to another area of wave propagation: from urban to rural.
