From the Publisher

Outlines the theoretical framework of mobile radio communications and how such systems are designed, for designers, researchers, and graduate students. Explains the differences between fixed and wireless radio systems, describes the mobile radio environment, defines design parameters for both base and mobile units, and offers troubleshooting tips for system design. Other topics include calculation of fades and frequency plans. This second edition features expanded information on PCS, microcell, and CDMA systems. Includes b&w graphs and diagrams. Annotation c.
