Introduction

To: All scientists and experts who work hard to promote the living standards of the world community. To meet the ever-increasing telecommunications needs of the world community, it is a crucial requirement to employ radio services. Among vast and fast expansions during recent decades, the satellite services, navigational aids, remote sensing, telemetering, audio and video broadcasting, high-speed data communications, mobile radio systems, and some other special radio services may be addressed. Radiowaves propagating between the transmitter and receiver antennas are subject to a number of phenomena which should be studied and differentiated carefully for designing a reliable radio link. Engineering of radiowave propagation as an outstanding and highly specialized issue is required for all types of radiocommunications. The pressure to provide data for more effective use of the frequency spectrum, as a natural and limited source of radio systems, requires wider improved prediction methods especially for new bands. The subject of radiowave propagation is now too large to be treated in a singlevolume book, encompassing all theoretical and practical aspects.
