New features include the latest experimentally-verified stochastic approach, based on several multi-parametric models; all-new chapters on wireless network fundamentals, advanced technologies, and current and modern multiple access networks; and helpful problem sets at the conclusion of each chapter to enhance clarity. The volume's emphasis remains on a thorough examination of the role of obstructions on the corresponding propagation phenomena that influence the transmission of radio signals through line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation conditions along the radio path between the transmitter and the receiver antennas - and how adaptive antennas, used at the link terminals, can be used to minimize the deleterious effects of such obstructions. With its focus on 3G, 4G, MIMO, and the latest wireless technologies, Radio Propagation and Adaptive Antennas for Wireless Communication Networks represents an invaluable resource to topics critical to the design of contemporary wireless communication systems. 410 0$aWiley series in microwave and optical engineering 606 $aAdaptive antennas 606 $aRadio wave propagation 606 $aWireless communication systems$xEquipment and supplies 606 $aCell phone systems$xEquipment and supplies 615 0$aAdaptive antennas. 615 0$aRadio wave propagation. 615 0$aWireless communication systems$xEquipment and supplies. 615 0$aCell phone systems$xEquipment and supplies. 676 $a621.382 676 $a621.3824 700 $aBlaunstein$b Nathan$0594740 701 $aChristodoulou$b Christos G.$f1955-$0312513 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830368903321 996 $aRadio propagation and adaptive antennas for wireless communication networks$91990450 997 $aUNINA
