About the Authors
  • Now reissued by Cambridge University Press, the updated second edition of this definitive textbook provides an unrivaled introduction to the theoretical and practical fundamentals of wireless communications. Key technical concepts are developed from first principles, and demonstrated to students using over 50 carefully curated worked examples. Over 200 end-of-chapter problems, based on real-world industry scenarios, help cement student understanding. The book provides a thorough coverage of foundational wireless technologies, including wireless local area networks (WLAN), 3G systems, and Bluetooth along with refreshed summaries of recent cellular standards leading to 4G and 5G, insights into the new areas of mobile satellite communications and fixed wireless access, and extra homework problems. Supported online by a solutions manual and lecture slides for instructors, this is the ideal foundation for senior undergraduate and graduate courses in wireless communications.

    • Uses real-world examples to demonstrate how technical concepts are applied to create wireless systems and products
    • Enables students to study more complex issues affecting radio propagation and antennas including radio transmission, reception and fading in the channel
    • Now reissued to include several corrections to the original 2nd edition
    • Includes refreshed summaries of recent cellular standards leading to 4G and 5G, insights into the new areas of mobile satellite communications and fixed wireless access, and extra homework problems
