Wireless Communications

The textbook Wireless Communications: Principles and Practice, 2nd Edition, delivers a comprehensive examination of mobile radio systems and wireless transmission principles. Designed for senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and engineering instructors, this publication establishes the technical foundation necessary to analyze wireless channel behavior and cellular system design.

The main content organizes core theoretical principles into distinct technical areas. It begins with radio propagation and antennas, explaining how electromagnetic signals travel through space and experience complex channel fading. The coverage proceeds to examine radio transmission and reception methodologies, followed by detailed structural analyses of established standards, including 2G cellular networks, 2.5G wireless networks, CDMA systems, and GSM systems.

To assist learning and reinforce core quantitative methods, the textbook incorporates over 50 worked examples designed to clarify key technical concepts within every major topic. This structured design offers solid academic support for senior undergraduate students and graduate students pursuing advanced studies in communications and signal processing.
