β¦ Synopsis
A vital source of information for practising and aspiring wireless communication engineers, as well as for students at postgraduate and senior undergraduate levels. This book provides a fundamental grounding in the principles of antennas and propagation without excessive recourse to mathematics. It also equips the reader with practical prediction techniques for the design and analysis of a very wide range of common wireless communication systems.
