A practical tool for propagation channel modeling with MATLAB® simulations. Many books on wireless propagation channel provide a highly theoretical coverage, which for some interested readers, may be difficult to follow. This book takes a very practical approach by introducing the theory in each chapter first, and then carrying out simulations showing how exactly put the theory into practice. The resulting plots are analyzed and commented for clarity, and conclusions are drawn and explained from the obtained results. Key features include: A unique approach to propagation channel modeling with accompanying MATLAB® simulations to demonstrate the theory in practice Contains step by step commentary and analysis of the obtained simulation results in order to provide a comprehensive and structured learning tool Covers a wide range of topics including shadowing effects, coverage and interference, Multipath Narrowband channel, Multipath Wideband channel, propagation in micro and pico-cells, the land mobile satellite (LMS) channel, the directional Multipath channel and MIMO and propagation effects in fixed radio links (terrestrial and satellite) The book comes with an accompanying website that contains the MATLAB® simulations and allows readers to try them out themselves Well suited for lab-use, as reference and as a self-learning tool both for advanced students and professionals Modeling the Wireless Propagation Channel: A simulation approach with MATLAB® will be best suited for postgraduate (Masters and PhD) students and practicing engineers in telecommunications and electrical engineering fields, who are seeking to familiarise themselves with the topic without too many formulas. The book will also be of interest to network engineers, system engineers and researchers

La contribucion del espectacular crecimiento de las redes de comunicacion al desarrollo de las sociedades avanzadas en los ambitos particular, profesional y empresarial, como consecuencia de la gran oferta de servicios y aplicaciones que se establecen sobre estas redes, hace indispensable un texto que presente de forma clara, ordenada y completa una vision general de los conceptos basicos de las comunicaciones, los diferentes tipos de redes, las caracteristicas de los servicios y las normas internacionales que intervienen en su diseno.En esta segunda edicion se han actualizado los contenidos de la primera y se han incorporado dos nuevos capitulos. En ellos se presentan por una parte las redes IP, debido a la penetracion de las tecnologias procedentes de Internet que han experimentado las redes empresariales, y por otra, la diversificada oferta de redes de acceso que proporcionan alternativas complementarias en algunos servicios y en competencia en otros.El libro puede ser utilizado como obra de referencia por lectores del mundo academico, administraciones publicas, directivos, cuadros de empresa, y en general, por profesionales no especializados en comunicaciones. El indice alfabetico les permitira localizar rapidamente aquellos datos que precisen conocer en su ambito especifico.Asimismo, tanto los lectores ya iniciados como los especializados en comunicaciones, encontraran clasificados al final de cada capitulo todos los conceptos tradicionales relacionados con otros nuevos, lo que les proporcionara un contexto de facil asimilacion. En definitiva, el lector interesado encontrara reunida en esta obra toda la informacion puesta al dia sobre las redes de comunicacion, sus normas, y losservicios ofertados
