Buch, Englisch, 560 Seiten, Format (B × H): 174 mm x 252 mm, Gewicht: 1168 g

Das einzige wirklich umfassende Nachschlagewerk zu modernen mikrowellengestützten Kommunikationssystemen! Beiträge führender Experten aus Großbritannien, Italien, Spanien und Griechenland beantworten in diesem 1. Band alle Fragen zu Bauelementen, zur Auslegung von Schaltkreisen und zur Implementation von Subsystemen. Band 1 und 2 dieses Werkes bilden die Basis für einen transeuropäischen MSc Abschluß in Mikrowellenkommunikationstechnik, der gegenwärtig von vier Universitäten im Rahmen des EU SOCRATES Programms entwickelt wird. Band 1 liefert wichtiges Informationsmaterial für die Fernstudiengangvariante dieses Abschlusses.
