Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. P. Mohana Shankar received his PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi in Electrical Engineering in 1980. He joined Drexel in 1982 and since 2001, he has been the Allen Rothwarf Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Drexel University. He is also an Adjunct Professor at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia since 1998. He has held several positions at Drexel including Interim Department Head, Electrical Engineering; Director, Graduate Programs, College of Engineering, and Program Director, Telecommunications Engineering. He was the recipient of the 2005-2006 Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching and the 21018-2019 University Award for Pedagogy and Assessment. He developed several courses and laboratories in fiber optics, wireless communications, probability, etc. . He has taught numerous courses at both the graduate and undergraduate level. He has published several books, including two at Springer and published several papers in journals and conference proceedings in the areas of fiber sensors, wireless communications, ultrasonic imaging, ultrasonic nondestructive testing, ultrasonic contrast agents, ultrasonic tissue characterization and pedagogy. During the past few years, he has published extensively in pedagogy devoted to the use of computations tools in undergraduate engineering courses in differential equations, linear algebra, wireless, probability and data analytics.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

In recent decades, growth in the field of wireless communications has led to an exponential rise in the number of journals catering to the research community. Still unmet, however, is the need to fully and comprehensively understand the effects of channel degradation
brought on by the statistical fluctuations in the channel. These fluctuations mainly manifest as variations in signal power observed in the channel generally modeled using a variety of probability distributions, both in straight forms as well as in compound
forms. While the former might explain some of the effects, it is the latter, namely, the compound models, which incorporate both short term and long term power fluctuations in the channel, explain the much more complex nature of the signals in these channels.
Fading and Shadowing in Wireless Systems offers a pedagogical approach to the topic, with insight into the modeling and analysis of fading and shadowing.

Beginning with statistical background and digital communications, the book is formulated to follow the details of modeling of the statistical fluctuations of signals in these channels. The author describes degradations in the channels arising from the statistical fluctuations in terms of various measures. This is followed by a discussion of
diversity and associated signal processing algorithms to mitigate the effects of statistical fluctuations in the channel as well as quantitative measures of improvements brought on by diversity. The book also examines the effects of cochannel interference.
