Useful as a text as well as a reference, this is one of the first
books of its kind to combine basic and advanced topics of radiowave
propagation and smart antennas into a single volume. The book is
interdisciplinary in nature and contains material drawn from the
electromagnetics and communications areas. Physical phenomena
leading to the modeling and prediction of path loss, and
characterizing the small-scale and medium-scale fluctuations of the
received signal, are treated in detail. Several new path loss
models are included. Both narrowband and wideband radio channel
characterizations are discussed. Statistical descriptions of
geometrically based single bounce scattering models that are useful
in developing spatial channel models for smart arrays are
presented. Principles of diversity and smart antennas for reducing
fading and co-channel interference are presented. Performance
evaluation of these arrays in the presence of fading and shadowing
is treated. Both TDMA and CMDA systems are considered. Effects of
element mutual coupling and correlation in limiting the system
performance are elaborated. Finally, principles of multiple-input
multiple-output communication systems that are increasingly
becoming attractive owing to their enormous bit rate capabilities
are covered. Several practical examples are worked out throughout
the text. Additional problems that help the reader assimilate the
material and advance to higher-level topics are included at the end
of each chapter. Radiowave Propagation and Smart Antennas for
Wireless Communications has been written for use in a graduate
course on communications and represents a comprehensive reference
for research scientists and practitionersworking in fields related
to the topic.
