Who is targeted?
We recommend this book for different types of readers going through different stages in their process to approaching the wireless propagation channel. Possible readers include senior undergraduates, and first-year graduate instructors and students for complementing their lecture materials with a practical, simulation-based book. The Matlab functions and scripts provided should allow them to quickly step through the first learning phases. The programs provided could help these students in developing their own programs, for example, for their project and thesis work. The material supplied could also be of interest to first-year Ph.D. students.
Other potential readers could be the self-learning professionals who need to get acquainted with this topic by first gaining a good intuitive insight into the wireless channel. In a second step, these readers could go on and approach other texts where more thorough mathematical and statistical developments of the various phenomena are available.
Other possible readers are practicing engineers who are involved in projects where the dynamics of the channel need to be included in their studies. System engineers who work on the definition of the transmission scheme needed for a new system under development, where a good understanding of the basic propagation phenomena is needed, can find the help they may require on the channel dynamics in this book
