Practical Communication Theory, 2nd edition enables practicing engineers and technicians to quickly and easily generate the answers to real-world problems encountered in specifying, testing, and fielding any type of systems that involve radio propagation.
The second edition of this practical book deals with free space radio propagation and propagation near the ground and over the ridge lines and has been updated to include new material on radio propagation near the earth in communication bands, which explains how to use the slide rule scales for each of the appropriate propagation modes.
Additional highlights include;
-
an expanded section on dynamic range
-
additional material on knife-edge diffraction
-
extra propagation formulae and graphs in the appendices
-
bonus material on a special antenna and propagation slide rule, with unique scales, along with detailed explanations (and examples) of how to use it
