The first part covers the fundamentals of the characterization of propagation channels, including the conventional single-input single-output (SISO) propagation channel characterization as well as its extension to multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cases. Part two focuses on channel measurements and channel data post-processing. Wideband channel measurements are introduced, including the equipment, technology and advantages and disadvantages of different data acquisition schemes. The channel parameter estimation methods are then presented, which include conventional spectral-based estimation, the specular-path-model based high-resolution method, and the newly derived power spectrum estimation methods. Measurement results are used to compare the performance of the different estimation methods. The third part gives a complete introduction to different modelling approaches. Among them, both scattering theoretical channel modelling and measurement-based channel modelling approaches are detailed. This part also approaches how to utilize these two modelling approaches to investigate wireless channels for conventional cellular systems and some new emerging communication systems.  This three-part approach means the book caters for the requirements of the audiences at different levels, including readers needing introductory knowledge, engineers who are looking for more advanced understanding, and expert researchers in wireless system design as a reference.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents technical explanations, illustrated with examples of the theory in practice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses results applied to 4G communication systems and other emerging communication systems, such as relay, CoMP, and vehicle-to-vehicle rapid time-variant channels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCan be used as comprehensive tutorial for students or a complete reference for engineers in industry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes selected illustrations in color\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProgram downloads available for readers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompanion website with program downloads for readers and presentation slides and solution manual for instructors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eEssential reading for Graduate students and researchers interested in the characteristics of propagation channel\u003cb\u003e,\u003c\/b\u003e or who work in areas related to physical layer architectures, air interfaces, navigation, and wireless sensing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eXUEFENG YIN, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eTongji University, China\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eXIANG CHENG, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeking University, China\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 October 2016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-IEEE Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781118188231\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e350\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379072495756,"sku":"9781118188231","price":136.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781118188231.jpg?v=1780184089","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781118188231","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
