Satellite to Ground Radiowave Propagation, 2nd Edition (repost)

*A comprehensive guide to radiowave propagation
*Excellent both as an introductory text and for researchers in the field

DESCRIPTION
This book is a follow up to the award winning first edition and is written as a comprehensive guide for those who need to obtain a working knowledge of radiowave propagation on satellite-to-ground links at frequencies above 1 GHz, and as a reference book for experts in the field. To accomplish this, expanded sections of explanatory text, copiously illustrated, enable an undergraduate or non-specialist to grasp the fundamentals involved. An extensive reference list permits the expert to go to the source material should the level of inquiry go beyond the level of this book.

This is an ideal reference for all levels of inquiry into satellite-to-ground radiowave propagation at frequencies above 1 GHz. Review questions are included in all chapters so that the book can act as a textbook for university study.

CONTENTS

Introductory chapter on radiowave earth-space communications; Ionospheric effects: Clear-air effects; Attenuation effects; Depolarization effects; Mobile satellite service propagation effects; Optical communications propagation effects; Restoration of performance during signal impairments.
