This book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles of radiowave propagation. It covers the physics of electromagnetic waves, the effects of the atmosphere and the earth's surface on propagation, and the various models used to predict signal strength and quality. The book is written in both English and French, making it accessible to a wider audience of engineers and researchers.
This text investigates the complex physical mechanisms governing the propagation of electromagnetic waves across various frequency bands and environmental conditions. Lucien Boithias, a recognized expert in telecommunications engineering, synthesizes theoretical physics with practical application to provide a comprehensive framework for radio system design. The work utilizes mathematical modeling and empirical data to explain how atmospheric, terrestrial, and ionospheric factors influence signal transmission.
