Microwave Engineering: Land & Space Radiocommunications

In Microwave Engineering: Land & Space Radiocommunications, find an introduction to the main propagation phenomena vital to the design and planning of any given system type and frequency of operation. This book presents the phenomenon of propagation of electromagnetic waves in frequency bands, wave propagation, antennas, atmospheric and ionospheric influences, terrain influence, and weather conditions and their effect on signal transmission. Practical aspects such as path profiles, link loss budgets, performance predictions, equipment arrangements, and sizing of the required supporting infrastructure to support microwave, space, and optical transmission links are covered
