ESL Faculty Publish New Book
Curt Levis, professor emeritus, and ECE faculty members, Joel Johnson and Fernando Teixeira, recently published a new book, Radiowave Propagation: Physics and Applications.
Radiowave Propagation: Physics and Applications provides an overview of the physical mechanisms that govern electromagnetic wave propagation in the Earth's troposphere and ionosphere. Developed in conjunction with a graduate-level wave propagation course at The Ohio State University, this text offers a balance of physical and empirical models to provide basic physical insight as well as practical methods for system design. It is published by John Wiley and Sons.
