Radio propagation and adaptive antennas for wireless communication networks : terrestrial, atmospheric, and ionospheric /

This book explores wireless networks beyond 3G, and advanced 4G technologies, such as MIMO, via propagation phenomena and the fundamentals of adapted antenna usage. It explains how adaptive antennas can improve GoS and QoS for any wireless channel, with specific examples and applications in land, ai...
