Propagation Engineering in Radio Links Design

With all the ITU regulations and recommendations on propagation issues, this volume deals with the basic principles, covers major systems such as mobile, satellite and navigational links, and provides details of the recent developments in propagation modeling.

This book addresses propagation phenomena in satellite, radar, broadcasting, short range , trans-horizon and several recent modes of communications in radio links. Also, it includes some topics on antennas , radio noises and improvement techniques. The book provides the necessary basic matters, as well as experimental results and calculation procedures for radio link design.

Examines ITU radio regulations and ITU-R recommendations regarding propa-gation issues Covering major radio systems such as fixed, mobile, satellite, broadcasting, radar, trans-horizon and navigational radio systems Discusses special effects of the noise on radio waves propagation Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Klappentext

Propagation Engineering in Radio Link Design covers the basic principles of radiowaves propagation in a practical manner. This fundamental understanding enables the readers to design radio links efficiently. This book elaborates on new achievements as well as recently developed propagation models. This is in addition to a comprehensive overview of fundamentals of propagation in various scenarios. It examines theoretical calculations, approaches and applied procedures needed for radio links design. The authors study and analysis of the main propagation phenomena and its mechanisms based on the recommendations of International Telecommunications Union, (ITU).

The book has been organized in 9 chapters and examines the role of antennas and passive reflectors in radio services, propagation mechanisms related to radar, satellite, short distance, broadcasting and trans-horizon radio links, with two chapters devoted to radio noise and main parameters of radio link design. The book presents some 278 illustrations, 50 tables, 110 solved examples, 200 questions and 170 problems.
