Radio Wave Propagation Fundamentals

Radio Wave Propagation Fundamentals, 2nd Edition, is a reference work that explains the fundamental principles of radio-frequency electromagnetic wave propagation in real-world environments. The volume serves as both a daily reference for practitioners and a structured text on radio wave behavior.

Coverage introduces radio wave classification, electromagnetic wave theory, RF link antennas, and the impact of the earth's surface on ground waves. It also examines atmospheric effects on wave propagation alongside core principles of radio wave reception.

The volume includes worked examples and problems, supported by downloadable problem sets in MS Word format, to aid in analyzing propagation paths and designing radio communication links.
