Updated and expanded, Physical Principles of Wireless Communications, Second Edition illustrates the relationship between scientific discoveries and their application to the invention and engineering of wireless communication systems. The second edition of this popular textbook starts with a review of the relevant physical laws, including Plancks Law of Blackbody Radiation, Maxwells equations, and the laws of Special and General Relativity. It describes sources of electromagnetic noise, operation of antennas and antenna arrays, propagation losses, and satellite operation in sufficient detail to allow students to perform their own system designs and engineering calculations.Illustrating the operation of the physical layer of wireless communication systems-including cell phones, communication satellites, and wireless local area networks-the text covers the basic equations of electromagnetism, the principles of probability theory, and the operation of antennas. It explores the propagation of electromagnetic waves and describes the losses and interference effects that waves encounter as they propagate through cities, inside buildings, and to and from satellites orbiting the earth. Important natural phenomena are also described, including Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, ionospheric reflection, and tropospheric refraction.New in the Second Edition:Descriptions of 3G and 4G cell phone systemsDiscussions on the relation between the basic laws of quantum and relativistic physics and the engineering of modern wireless communication systemsA new section on Plancks Law of Blackbody RadiationExpanded discussions on general relativity and special relativity and their relevance to GPS system designAn expanded chapter on antennas that includes wire loop antennasExpanded discussion of shadowing correlations and their effect on cell phone system designThe text covers the physics of Geostationary Earth Orbiting satellites, Medium Earth Orbiting satellites
