Going beyond mere descriptions of system aspects such as propagation, modulation, coding, and frequency re-use, this book addresses how to use this information to predict, verify, and measure radio system coverage accurately.
It is ideal for those responsible for specifying the site layouts of conventional or cellular land-mobile radio systems. The author analyzes current issues in the industry and suggests future trends in systems design, providing over 50 examples of real-world radio system coverage problems. Clearly written and concise, the book shows how to handle both Rayleigh fading and lognormal shadowing in coverage prediction, and how to estimate signal strengths and bit-error probability. It also shows engineers how to implement acceptance procedures that help determine whether a test plan will be cost efficient. The package includes a bound-in 3.5" disk containing FORTRAN source code that can be used to solve challenging formulas and propagation models.
