McGraw-Hill Education Microwave Transmission Networks

Design and build - anywhere in the world. The only thoroughly modern reference on microwave transmission network engineering and management, expert Harvey Lehpamer's stellar "Microwave Transmission Networks" provides hands-on help that speeds every step of planning, designing, building, and testing systems built to both North American and ITU standards.Offering in-depth help you'll use every day, from feasibility studies to actual hardware rollouts, this valuable and easy-to-understand resource helps project managers, engineers, and planners to: understand, design, and build microwave point-to-point networks - long- or short-haul, North American or ITU standards; expedite the analysis and the design process using internationally accepted models; calculate loss/attenuation, fading and fade margins, quality, and availability and perform interference analysis; get need-to-know answers on microwave link engineering; perform expert testing from design stage through acceptance; handle hardware issues from housings to antenna mounts and beyond; understand and track microwave network rollouts; manage maintenance, regulatory issues, ethical dilemmas, and logistical and organizational challenges; understand other microwave systems like Point-to-Multipoint, WLANs, and Bluetooth as well as microwave systems for rapid deployment; and, more.
