Description
This is not another book about installing a home or ?hobby? Wi-Fi system. Instead, this book shows you how to plan, design, install, and
operate WLAN systems in businesses, institutions, and public settings such as libraries and hotels. In other words, this book is packed
with serious information for serious professionals responsible for implementing robust, high performance WLANs covering areas as small
as a coffee shop or as large as entire communities.
Ron Olexa provides a solid foundation in RF/wireless theory as it applies to WLANs.
His detailed, thorough coverage of propagation at GHz frequencies helps you understand the mysteries of WLAN coverage (such as how it
can change from season to season due to foliage). You?ll also learn about antenna radiation patterns and gain so you can design you WLAN
to have the coverage you need without causing interference to (or suffering interference from) other WLANs.
Audience
RF/wireless design and applications engineers; networking engineers. Electronics engineering students.
