Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Channel Models: Theory and Practice (Adaptive and Learning Systems for Signal Processing, Communications and Control Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent book.
Despite of ignoring Winner models that book is a very helpful.
Costa introduces in the 2nd chapter all the basis you need to make students understand correlative and cluster models discussed in 3rd and 4th chapters.
Helpful appendices on tensor theory and useful examples in 6th chapter.
The book is pretty short, but MIMO channel modeling is also a recent subject.

Antennas and Propagation for Wireless Communication Systems: 2nd Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book reviews antenna and propagation theory which is covered well elsewhere in the public output of others, but with a slant from a practitioner in the modern field of mobile and cellnet communications. If you want up-to-date information on antennas for mobiles and their interactions with buildings this may be your book.

Antennas and propagation are of fundamental importance to the coverage, capacity and quality of all wireless communication systems. This book provides a solid grounding in antennas and propagation, covering terrestrial and satellite radio systems in both mobile and fixed contexts. Building on the highly successful first edition, this fully updated text features significant new material and brand new exercises and supplementary materials to support course tutors. A vital source of information for practising and aspiring wireless communication engineers as well as for students at postgraduate and senior undergraduate levels, this book provides a fundamental grounding in the principles of antennas and propagation without excessive recourse to mathematics. It also equips the reader with practical prediction techniques for the design and analysis of a very wide range of common wireless communication systems.
Including:
Overview of the fundamental electromagnetic principles underlying propagation and antennas.
Basic concepts of antennas and their application to specific wireless systems.
Propagation measurement, modelling and prediction for fixed links, macrocells, microcells, picocells and megacells
Narrowband and wideband channel modelling and the effect of the channel on communication system performance.
Methods that overcome and transform channel impairments to enhance performance using diversity, adaptive antennas and equalisers.


Key second edition updates:
New chapters on Antennas for Mobile Systems and Channel Measurements for Mobile Radio Systems.
Coverage of new technologies, including MIMO antenna systems, Ultra Wideband (UWB) and the OFDM technology used in Wi-Fi and WiMax systems.
Many new propagation models for macrocells, microcells and picocells.
Fully revised and expanded end-of-chapter exercises.
The Solutions Manual can be requested from http://www.wiley.com/go/saunders_antennas_2e

OFDM Baseband Receiver Design for Wireless Communications Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For some reason I thought this would be a "direct from RF to baseband" OFDM receiver design book, including example circuitry, etc.. Instead it does not cover any RF modulation/demodulation issues, other than to show a block diagram including "RF TX" and "RF TX" (a typo, should be "RF RX"). English is choppy in spots, but completely understandable. If you are looking for lots of theory and diagrams concerning the many aspects of OFDM receiver design, this is a good book. If you are looking for anything hardware related, or even RF mod/demod issues, you will be disappointed.

To build wireless systems that deliver maximum performance and reliability, engineers need a detailed understanding of radio propagation. Drawing on over 15 years of experience, leading wireless communications researcher Henry Bertoni presents the most complete discussion of techniques for predicting radio propagation ever published. From its insightful introduction on spectrum reuse to its state-of-the-art real-world models for buildings, terrain, and foliage, Radio Propagation for Modern Wireless Systems delivers invaluable information for every wireless system designer. Coverage provides: A door to the understanding of radio wave propagation for the wireless channel. In-depth study of the effects on path loss of buildings, terrain, and foliage. A unified view of key propagation effects in narrowband and wideband systems, including spatial variation, angle of arrival, and delay spread. Readable account of diffraction at building corners, with worked out examples. Never-before-published coverage of mobile-to-mobile path loss in cities. Effective new ray-based models for site-specific predictions and simulation of channel statistics. Simulations of fast fading and shadow loss. From start to finish, Radio Propagation for Modern Wireless Systems presents sophisticated models–and compares their results with actual field measurements. With thorough coverage and extensive examples from both narrowband and wideband systems, it can help any wireless designer deliver more powerful, cost-effective services.
