Microwave Radio Links

From Theory to Design

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers the design of microwave radio links in depth. Microwave radio links are the transmission facilities connecting two adjacent base stations for cellular radio. By linking microwave stations broadband transmsission, capable of handling large amounts of data, is possible. This book presents the subject of microwave links (which recently has been more widely known as Fixed Wireless Access, or FWA), from the basic concepts of free space propagation and aperture antennas, through the transmission of analog and digital signals in noisy (and fading) channels, right to the design specification and costing of links.

---

After a period when optical links appeared to become the solution to all transmission problems, the ongoing revolution in the telecommunications sector and the advances in technology have brought microwave links back to center stage.
_ Detailed comparison of ITU (International Telecommunications Union) and North American frequency hierarchies, an important topic that has been inadequatly covered
_ Contains end -of-chapter problem sets and a solutions manual Includes extensive discussion of error control codes
