Samenvatting:

Providing an introduction to the theory of radiowave propagation, this volume progresses to examine the impact of this theory on modern communication systems such as mobile radio and satellite links.

Radio Wave Propagation provides an introduction to the study of the free propagation of electromagnetic waves. A good understanding of the propagation mechanisms is essential for the communications engineer and this text offers the necessary background knowledge. It emphasises the methods of establishing propagation models and covers the three basic elements: the nature of effective modelling, electromagnetism effects, and propagation devices.

Features include:

· Numerous problems and exercises accompanied by detailed solutions

· Discussion of the impact of this theory on communication systems such as mobile radio and satellite links

· Details the main aspects of propagation, measurements and applications

Essential reading for communications engineers, electronic engineers and undergraduate and postgraduate students of telecommunications, electronic engineering and applied physics.
