Overview
This exceptional text introduces the reader to the theory and basis of antennas and propagation in the rapidly developing field of mobile communications. Topics covered include basic multipath mechanisms and propagation, and propagation modelling as well as short term channel behavior from two path and many path models and scenarios. Also, the basics of antenna design and operation are discussed including array antennas. This book promises to be a valuable reference work for many years to come, and will be an important addition to the bookshelves of telecommunications engineers and researchers.Synopsis
Vaughan (an engineer at Industrial Research Limited, New Zealand) and Andersen (wireless communication, Aalborg U., Denmark) avoid the two extremes of simplified cookbook solutions and burdensome derivations, focusing instead on developing clear understanding of the theory of physical layer wireless communications. The book focuses on the overlapping knowledge of antennas, propagation, and frequency necessary for development of systems with high spectral efficiency. Topics include propagation modeling, simulation and measurement, physics and effects of multipath channels, scattering, antenna principles, array antennas, adaptive antennas, and smart antennas.
