Radio Propagation in Cellular Networks

Radio Propagation in Cellular Networks delivers the most comprehensive
description of propagation phenomena in urban, suburban, and rural
environments to help you improve the efficiency of wireless communications
systems. It is also the first book to consider the full algorithm for radio coverage
prediction and cellular characteristic prediction to increase performance of radio
and cellular map design.

This books includes analysis of free space propagation over regular and
irregular terrain, reflection and diffraction by various obstacles, including hills,
buildings, and trees, and well as the effects of scattering due to such obstacles
and terrain. This is an essential sourcebook on radio propagation for wireless
communication planners, designers and engineers, and it emphasizes behavior of
waves in the UHF/L-frequency band throughout.
