Everything readers need to implement and support a wirelesspoint-to-point communications environment
In order to cope with the tremendous explosion of thetelecommunications market, the field of wireless communications hasgreatly expanded in the past fifty years, especially in the domainsof microwave radio systems including line-of-sight, satellites, andtropospheric-scatter. Now, Microwave Engineering: Land & SpaceRadio- communications answers the growing worldwide demand for anauthoritative book on this important and emerging subject area.
In five succinct chapters, the book introduces students andpracticing engineers to the main propagation phenomena that areencountered and that must be considered in the design and planningfor any given system type and frequency of operation:
* Electromagnetic wave propagation--An introduction to thefundamentaltheory of radiation and propagation of electromagneticwaves, polarization, antenna properties, free space attenuation,atmospheric refractivity, diffraction, reflection, multipath andscattering mechanisms, hydrometeor effects, and probabilitydistributions
* Principles of digital communication systems--Modulationtechniques, signal processing, error probability, spectralcharacteristics, spectrum efficiency, thermal noise,intermodulation, jamming, and interference
* Microwave line-of-sight systems--Path profile, flat fadingand frequency-selective fading, interferometric method for spaceand frequency diversity techniques, International Standards and ITURecommendations, optimization of the frequency-plan resource, linkbudget, quality, reliability, and availability
* Microwave transhorizon systems--Design ofbeyond-the-horizon communication systems, properties of scatteringand diffraction modes, multipath statistical relations, long-termand short-term field strength variations, quality of service,optimization of antenna alignment, and experimental analysis ofvarious diversity and combining methods
* Satellite communications--Design of satellitecommunications systems, orbital parameters, Earth-satellitegeometry, uplink and downlink budgets for both space and Earthsegments, and total system noise temperature
Microwave Engineering: Land & Space Radiocommunications issuitable for engineers involved in wireless telecommunications, aswell as for students and members of various seminars andworkshops.
