Radio Wave Propagation and Channel Modeling for Earth-Space Systems

The accurate design of earth–space systems requires a comprehensive understanding of the various propagation media and phenomena that differ depending on frequencies and types of applications. The choice of the relevant channel models is crucial in the design process and constitutes a key step in performance evaluation and testing of earth–space systems. The subject of this book is built around the two characteristic cases of satellite systems: fixed satellites and mobile satellite systems. Radio Wave Propagation and Channel Modeling for Earth–Space Systems discusses the state of the art in channel modeling and characterization of next-generation fixed multiple-antennas and mobile satellite systems as well as propagation phenomena and fade mitigation techniques. The frequencies of interest range from 100 MHz to 100 GHz (from VHF to W band) whereas the use of optical free-space communications is envisaged. Examining recent research advances in space-time tropospheric propagation fields and optical satellite communication channel models the book covers land mobile multiple antennas satellite- issues and relative propagation campaigns and stratospheric channel models for various applications and frequencies. It also presents research and well-accepted satellite community results for land mobile satellite and tropospheric attenuation time-series single link and field synthesizers. The book examines aeronautical communications channel characteristics and modeling relative radio wave propagation campaigns and stratospheric channel model for various applications and frequencies. Propagation effects on satellite navigation systems and the corresponding models are also covered. | Radio Wave Propagation and Channel Modeling for Earth-Space Systems

Ionosphere and Applied Aspects of Radio Communication and Radar

A Complete Reference for the 21st Century Until recently much of the communications technology in the former Eastern bloc countries was largely unknown. Due to the historically competitive nature of East/West relations scientific groups operated independently without the benefit of open communication on theoretical frameworks and experimental technologies. As these countries have begun to bridge the gap and work in a more cooperative environment the need has grown for a comprehensive guide which assimilates all the information in this vast knowledge bank. Ionosphere and Applied Aspects of Radio Communication and Radar meets the demand for an updated reference on this continually evolving global technology. This book examines the changes that have occurred in the past two or three decades. It thoroughly reviews ionospheric radio propagation over-horizon and above-horizon radars and miniature ionospheric stations used for investigating nonregular phenomena occurring in the ionosphere. In addition it also comprehensively discusses land-satellite and satellite-satellite communications. This volume also reviews an area that has been all but ignored in previous works: the effects of plasma irregularities on radio waves propagation through the inhomogeneous ionosphere. Here a heavy focus is placed on the effects of these irregular phenomena. And due to the recent wireless revolution more attention than ever has been aimed on improving the efficiency of land-satellite and satellite-satellite communication networks which are fully addressed. Included are— Transport processes and photochemistry reactions occurring in the regular homogeneous ionosphere Nonlinear phenomena occurring in the irregular ionosphere Instabilities in the inhomogeneous disturbed ionosphere Various ambient natural and artificial sources and corresponding plasma irregularities Written by two leading scientists this book will be an invaluable guide to anyone working in this ever-changing field.

Cognitive Networks Applications and Deployments

A cognitive network makes use of the information gathered from the network in order to sense the environment plan actions according to the input and make appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine.
