Comprehensive reference covering the theory and applications of transmissions systems with a wide range of practical applications Electronic Transmission Systems: From Theory to Practice addresses electronic transmission systems, covering topics such as basic RF (Radio Frequency) concepts, including constitutive parameters of materials and how these affect radio propagation; propagation mechanisms theory which affect not only radio propagation but also light propagation; transmission lines, waveguides and impedance matching concepts and applications; characteristics of wireless transmission systems, such as microwave links, broadcasting, satellite and cellular; and finally a section devoted to optical communication systems and issues related to this transmission medium. In sum, the authors focus on the different transmission systems used in modern electronic communication systems, a detailed description of these as well as the architectures, specifications, and phenomena affecting their performance.
