The ultimate guide to modeling radio wave propagation by a leading expert, professor at the Polytechnic University of New York.
- The top techniques and most innovative propagation prediction models.
- Detailed comparisons with real measurements.
- Multipath models, wave propagation, diffraction, and other phenomena.
- A groundbreaking analysis concerning path loss when communicating with mobile devices in urban areas.
Specifically, the book includes among other topics:
- The concept of cellular communication and the necessity for propagation prediction (spatial reuse, linear cells as an example of spectrum reuse in the FDMA system, hexagonal coverage cells, etc.).
- Examination of the characteristics observed in propagation channels (narrowband signal measurements, fast fading, shadow fading, differentiation of shadow fading from distance dependency, slope models - shaping in macrocell distance dependency, effect of road geometry, etc.).
- Propagation, reflection, and transmission of plane waves (plane waves in unbounded areas, reflection of plane waves at planar boundaries, incidence of plane waves on dielectric layers).
- Antennas and radiation (spherical wave radiation, receiving antennas, reciprocity and gain or path loss, two-ray models for propagation over flat ground surface, propagation in the line of sight in an urban canyon, cylindrical waves).
- Diffraction at edges and corners (the local nature of propagation, diffraction of a plane wave from an absorbing half-plane, diffraction for other edges and for oblique incidence, diffraction of spherical waves, diffraction from multiple edges).
- Wave propagation in flat terrain with buildings (modeling propagation over arrays of low buildings, approaches to calculating the PG1 reduction of fields over rooftops, plane wave incidence for macrocell predictions, cylindrical wave incidence for microcell system predictions).
- Shadow fading and the effect of terrain morphology and trees (statistics of shadow fading, modeling the effect of terrain morphology and the impact of trees).
- Propagation forecasting at specific locations (outdoor using a two-dimensional building database, in two dimensions for a road grid in Manhattan, outdoor using 3D building databases, forecasts for specific indoor locations).
