This newly revised and expanded edition of the Artech House classic, "Radiowave Propagation and Antennas for Personal Communications", offers a current and comprehensive introduction to the practice and underpinnings of personal communications. Every chapter has been updated to explain how the latest ultra-wide band technology affects all aspects of personal communications. The third edition covers important innovations such as wireless local networks, personal networks, and MIMO techniques. Written for a broad spectrum of readers, this practical resource is useful to experienced engineers designing systems, EE professors teaching fundamentals, or technology consultants needing a quick, cohesive overview. In addition to its accessible coverage of technology and theory, this unique volume examines how radio waves and wireless devices affect the human body.

Personal communications made easy by Siwiak,
By A Customer
This review is from: Radiowave Propagation and Antennas for Personal Communications (Artech House Antennas and Propagation Library) (Hardcover)
The book is logically organized and well suited to the needs who want to be informed in areas of multipath propagation and antennas as they apply to modern personal communications. "Radiowave Propagation and Antennas for Personal Communications" is thorough and comprehensive enough to meet the needs of experienced practitioners, yet detailed and lucid enough to serve as a textbook for graduate students.

Practical design information rarely found in a single book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Radiowave Propagation and Antennas for Personal Communications (Artech House Antennas and Propagation Library) (Hardcover)
Some errors not withstanding, a book that will most certainly benefit a practicing engineer! All those who have not studied antennas in their course work, yet need to specify, test and deploy; all those who will never see an antenna, but must understand the path-loss mechanism in a fading environment will find it an invaluable resource. It describes the cellular/PCS propagation phenomena in down to earth terms, and ties them neatly to the handset/base-station requirements.

Just discovered this..,
By Ned Watkins (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Radiowave Propagation and Antennas for Personal Communications (Artech House Antennas and Propagation Library) (Hardcover)
An interesting find - antennas and propagation from the point of view of the practioner, rather than a rehash of academic generalities.
