Multipath Phenomena in Cellular Networks
Mobile communications series
Nathan Blaunstein, Jorgen Bach Andersen
Résumé
Written by two leading experts in the field, this
cutting-edge book introduces you to multipath phenomena,
giving you a solid understanding of this new approach to
wireless communications network design. It provides you
with practical recommendations on how to predict multipath
propagation characteristics in space, time and frequency
domains for personal and mobile communication.
Indispensable for practicing mobile communications
engineers, designers and researchers concerned with the
operation and servicing of cellular radio, this unique
resource helps you to predict signal-to-noise ratio in
different outdoor communication channels, obtain
information about path loss and slow and fast fading for
link budget design, determine how to position any wireless
subscriber in the outdoor scene, and control the
performance of adaptive antennas. The book also summarizes
key aspects of probability theory and statistics to help
you overcome the problems of signal fading and multipath
phenomena. Supplemented with over 125 illustrations and 375
equations, you get practical tools and algorithms to help
you with your wireless communications network design
projects.
