Personal communications systems-new requirements for antenna and propagation knowledge

Concentrates on the antenna and propagation issues that will need to be addressed in order to bring the concept of personal communications into reality. The author begins by defining the personal communications concept in sufficient detail to place some bounds on the system design and network planning requirements. This leads into a consideration of the physical environments where a personal communications system is likely to be used, an outline of the propagation conditions expected to be encountered, and a consideration of the antenna requirements of these systems. Where appropriate, the argument is illustrated by examples from the literature
