by Henry L. Bertoni (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Provides a state-of-the-art propagation prediction techniques and models, accurate new models to account for buildings, terrain, and foliage. Detailed comparisons with actual measurements taken in the field, and multipath models, wave propagation, and diffraction are included.

From the Back Cover

• A door to the understanding of radio wave propagation for the wireless channel
.
• In-depth study of the effects on path loss of buildings, terrain, and foliage
.
• A unified view of key propagation effects in narrowband and wideband systems, including spatial variation, angle of arrival, and delay spread
.
• Readable account of diffraction at building corners, with worked out examples
.
• Never-before-published coverage of mobile-to-mobile path loss in cities
.
• Effective new ray-based models for site-specific predictions and simulation of channel statistics
.
• Simulations of fast fading and shadow loss
.

From start to finish, Radio Propagation for Modern Wireless Systems presents sophisticated models—and compares their results with actual field measurements. With thorough coverage and extensive examples from both narrowband and wideband systems, it can help any wireless designer deliver more powerful, cost-effective services.
