This newly revised and expanded edition of the Artech House classic, Radiowave Propagation and Antennas for Personal Communications, offers a current and comprehensive introduction to the practice and underpinnings of personal communications. Every chapter has been updated to explain how the latest ultra-wide band technology affects all aspects of personal communications. The third edition covers important innovations such as wireless local networks, personal networks, and MIMO techniques. Written for a broad spectrum of readers, this practical resource is useful to experienced engineers designing systems, EE professors teaching fundamentals, or technology consultants needing a quick, cohesive overview. In addition to its accessible coverage of technology and theory, this unique volume examines how radio waves and wireless devices affect the human body.
