Disclaimer: This compendium provides information on aspects of radio wave propagation, antennas, system aspects, and handover schemes for mobile and wireless systems. The compendium is foreseen for the UNIK4700 course on Building Mobile and Wireless Networks, and is kept on the system aspects level. UNIK has several courses on Radio and Network technologies as part of the Wireless Networks and Security (WNaS) research area.
