Description: The book demonstrate various components of the mobile communication like channel, propagation and antenna. Chapter 1 introduces the concepts with a brief look at a century of developments which, from the start, have featured non-line-of-sight paths. Chapters 2 to 4 cover propagation and scattering mechanisms.Chapters 5 to 7 cover short-term multipath channel behaviour, including odd phenomena that occur such as negative group delay. These chapters draw on simple propagation models with signal processing concepts. Chapters 8 and 9 concern the principles and design of antennas, a deceptively large set of topics.
