Radio Wave Propagation

From Book News, Inc.
Lavergnat (U. of Versailles) and Sulvain (U. of Marne-la-Vallee) offer a textbook for graduate or undergraduate students of telecommunications, electronic engineering, and related disciplines. They introduce the propagation of radio waves in natural media, also called free propagation, in contrast to guided propagation. Their emphasis is on methods of analyzing problems, the required adaptation of the laws of physics, and solving complex problems that sometimes require drastic approximations, rather than on the results of studies leading to the current methods of calculation. The original Propagatin des ondes radioelectriques was published by Editions Masson in 1997.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR


Review
" a solid introduction to the theory of radiowave propogation." -- La Doc STI, September 2000


Book Description
Radio Wave Propagation provides an introduction to the study of the free propagation of electromagnetic waves. A good understanding of the propagation mechanisms is essential for the communications engineer and this text offers the necessary background knowledge. It emphasises the methods of establishing propagation models and covers the three basic elements: the nature of effective modelling, electromagnetism effects, and propagation devices.

Features include:

· Numerous problems and exercises accompanied by detailed solutions

· Discussion of the impact of this theory on communication systems such as mobile radio and satellite links

· Details the main aspects of propagation, measurements and applications.

Essential reading for communications engineers, electronic engineers and undergraduate and postgraduate students of telecommunications, electronic engineering and applied physics.
