DESCRIPTION:
Prior to joining Harris, he was an associate professor of electrical engineering at Florida Institute of Technology where he also served as the associate director of the Institute's Wireless Center of Excellence. . Seybold has worked in radar systems, digital signal processing, and communication systems, including spread spectrum
From the Back Cover An introduction to RF propagation that spans all wireless applications This book provides readers with a solid understanding of the concepts involved in the propagation of electromagnetic waves and of the commonly used modeling techniques. Additionally, an accompanying Wiley ftp site provides supporting MathCad files for select figures in the book.With its emphasis on fundamentals, detailed examples, and comprehensive coverage of models and applications, this is an excellent text for upper-level undergraduate or graduate students, or for the practicing engineer who needs to develop an understanding of propagation phenomena.. While many books cover RF propagation, most are geared to cellular telephone systems and, therefore, are limited in scope. This title is comprehensive—it treats the growing number of wireless applications that range well beyond the mo
While many books cover RF propagation, most are geared to cellular telephone systems and, therefore, are limited in scope. Additionally, an accompanying Wiley ftp site provides supporting MathCad files for select figures in the book. The author's straightforward, clear style makes it easy for readers to gain the necessary background in electromagnetics, communication theory, and probability, so they can advance to propagation models for near-earth, indoor, and earth-space propagation. Critical topics that readers would otherwise have to search a number of resources to find are included: * RF safety chapter provides a concise presentation of FCC recommendations, including application examples, and prepares re
Great overview of RF This book does not get into details of the math and physics. To do so, it would be volumes. But the book provides a very effective overview of the topic and the references are very relevant to the topic so that the reader can deeper into the topics by pursuing those references.The book can give the reader an overall understanding of RF and is an easy to read book. It can be read over a weekend.. "A good Introduction to RF Propagation" according to RF/EW Lackey. While I will agree that the text has some errors, the concepts presented by this book are rock solid and easy to understand. As someone new to RF engineering, this book has been very helpful in describing the basic concepts of antennas, link budgets, atmospheric attenuation, and propagation models.If you're looking for hardcore mathematics, this book is not for you. If you're looking for a practical conceptual understanding of RF, pick it up. It's very easy to read.Although I like the b. Outstanding in your field DaleBr My rating is insignificant. I have not yet read the book.Just wanted to share an error with you.P. 14, Section 2.2 "The Electric Field". The equation is wrong.It is written as: E = eDIt should be: D = eEwhereD is the electric flux density vector (coulomb / m^2)e (epsilon) is the permittivity of the medium (farads/meter)E is the electric field vector (newtons per coulomb (N/C) or volts per meter (V/m) )Also, on P. 15, TABLE 2.1 the equations for the Electric Field intensity are incorrect
