Lee9780071157667, 0071157662

This authoritative work was written to be the bible for advanced commercial mobile phone systems and military mobile communications systems. Emphasizing how to study and analyze mobile communications problems, the book thoroughly explains how to design a mobile radio communication system. Introductory material describes existing systems, bridging the gap for students unfamiliar with the field. The characteristics of mobile radio signals are covered, applying statistical communication theory to propagation and received signal characteristics. Functional design is introduced, and a discussion of system performance included to explain how to evaluate a new system. The author uses both theory and experiments to support practical design and development of systems in the microwave frequency ranges configured for high-capacity mobile telephone and data communications. – This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
