Providing a solid introduction to the theory of radio wave propagation, this highly topical volume progresses to examine its impact upon modern communication systems, such as mobile radio and satellite links. The key aspects of propagation are covered in detail, including theory, measurements and applications. It also features worked examples to aid greater understanding of this complex area of electromagnetism.
  • Presents an in-depth discussion of the three basic elements of propagation: the nature of effective modelization, electromagnetism and propagation devices
  • Examines both tropospheric and ionospheric propagation
  • Offers fundamental reading for communications and electronic engineers, and graduate and undergraduate students of telecommunications, electronic engineering and applied physics

Contents:

  • Propagation Techniques and Rationale
  • Related Electromagnetic Effects
  • Concerns Using this Medium
  • Applications to Telecommunication Services
  • Exercises, plus Answers
  • Appendix: Antennas
