Summary

• Long the guidebook of telecommunication professionals, Radio System Design for Telecommunications is the definitive handbook of design and configuration of radiolinks in point-to-point telecommunications service as well as wireless and cellular systems.
• Offering clear technical insights on developing the overriding plan for a system as well as solving the minute problems usually encountered during the design process, Radio System Design is a comprehensive toolkit, full of practical theory on how radiolinks and wireless systems operate, as well as guidance on how to size or dimension terminals and ancillary subsystems and select the necessary performance parameters and equipment specifications to meet the needs of various radio users.
• Updated and expanded for the newest wave in the telecommunications revolution, the Second Edition includes information on such ascendent technologies as cellular radio, personal communication systems (PCS), very small aperture terminal (VSAT) satellite communication networks, and meteor burst communications, as well as more established techniques such as troposcatter and high frequency (HF, 3-30 MHz) systems.
