Fixed Broadband Wireless System Design

The book is a comprehensive presentation of the engineering principles, advanced engineering techniques, and practical design methods for planning and deploying fixed wireless systems, including:
Point-to-point LOS and NLOS network design
Point-to-point microwave link design including active and passive repeaters
Consecutive point and mesh network planning
Advanced empirical and physical propagation modeling including ray-tracing
Detailed microwave fading models for multipath and rain
NLOS (indoor and outdoor) propagation and fading models
Propagation environment models including terrain, morphology, buildings, and atmospheric effects
Novel mixed application packet traffic modeling for dimensioning network capacity
Narrow beam, wide beam, and adaptive (smart) antennas
MIMO systems and space-time coding
Channel planning including fixed and dynamic channel assignment and dynamic packet assignment
IEEE 802.11b and 802.11a (WLAN) system design
Free space optic (FSO) link design

At present, there are no titles available that provide such a concise presentation of the wide variety of systems, frequency bands, multiple access techniques, and other factors that distinguish fixed wireless systems from mobile wireless systems. Fixed Broadband Wireless System Design is essential reading for design, system and RF engineers involved in the design and deployment of fixed broadband wireless systems, fixed wireless equipment vendors, and academics and postgraduate students in the field.
