Abstract

From the Publisher:Gain a better understanding of the various propagation and antenna problems associated with personal communications with this updated and expanded version of the 1995 bestseller. As with its first edition, this new book quickly brings you up to speed on the personal communication radio channel, and demystifies the complicated engineering details behind fixed-site antennas, personal communications device (PCD) antennas near to the human body, and the radio propagation channel. It also contains brand new material, including: 聲 The propagation characteristics associated with the FLEX™ paging, GSM, IS-95 CDMA, Japan PHS telephony, and EUREKA-147 digital broadcasting protocols 1 Expanded sections on multipath wave propagation including diversity reception, plus an all new section on PCS channel protocols 聲 New sections covering RF exposure standards and compliance, near-ground yagi antennas, and two- way messaging system design 聲 New problem-and-solution sets at the end of each chapter Radio design engineers and PCS system designers can turn to this practical, non-theoretical guide to learn how to maximize the performance of fixed site and base-station antennas, design radio systems in multipath, fading, and urban/suburban environments, and improve signal reception. Mechanical engineers better understand how various design decisions affect radio performance, and EE professors can use the book to teach the fundamentals of PCS radio system design from protocols, to antennas, to propagation. Software Included! Accompanying software containing Mathcad version 6.0 and 7.0 Professional Edition templates guide you throughchapter-end problems, and FORTRAN source code and executable code assist you in further study of loop and dipole antennas. One 3.5" IBM PC-compatible diskette; Mathcad templates compatible with IBM-PC and Macintosh versions of Mathcad.
