Features: This authoritative textbook on radio wave propagation models is written by world-renowned wireless communication expert Henry L. Bertoni. It opens the door for readers to understand the propagation of radio waves in wireless channels. The book conducts extensive and in-depth research on the impact of buildings, terrain, and shrubs on path loss, forming a unified perspective on key effects such as spatial variations, arrival angles, and delay spread in narrowband and broadband systems. Through numerous examples, it provides a clear description of building corner diffraction and presents previously unpublished research on mobile bodies and mobile path loss in urban environments. It also proposes effective models for specific location prediction and channel statistical simulation based on ray theory. The book's thorough introduction to spectrum reuse and its precise models of buildings, terrain, and shrubs in the real world provide valuable information for every wireless system designer. This book is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students majoring in wireless communication as a learning reference, as well as for a broad range of engineering technicians dedicated to wireless communication engineering.
