Synopsis

This book has been written as both a comprehensive guide for those who need to obtain a working knowledge of radiowave propagation on satellite-to-ground links in the gigahertz frequencies and as a reference work for experts in the field. The book has been broken down into chapters that deal, with the major propagation phenomena classes. After a broad introductory chapter, there are chapters on ionospheric effects, clear-air effects, attenuation effects, and depolarization effects. Chapter six deals with a group of phenomena (sand/dust effects), site shielding and multipath phenomena) while the last chapter sets out in detail the various techniques available for combating propagation impairments.
