Radio Wave Propagation For Telecommunication Applications

Author: H Sizun

 This books thoroughly describes the physical mechanisms of electromagnetic wave propagation in the terrestrial and near space environment. It thus provides advanced students and development engineers the background for the design of reliable telecommunication systems in the radiofrequency domain.
