I bought this book for background in Microwave before being assigned as PM of a Microwave project. It's a good book and gives great information, but does not detail site and path surveys, which is what I needed most. Definitely worth the money spent.

Excellent Microwave Engineering Book by R. Steel (USA)

This book provides an excellent overview of microwave engineering within the industry. It is well written and laid out in an introduction to deployment fashion. Excellent discussion on link budget development and a thorough view of availability versus reliability within the microwave path. I like how the author introduces you to the basic fundamentals of microwave networks and then moves into planning, design, and deployment. If you design or work with microwave radios, this book should be on your shelf as a right hand tool. The book has been an excellent reference to me for developing software and microwave link budgets. Great job!

I had to purchase this book for a course being given by the author. I have been in the industry for over 20 years and I have never had so much information packed into one reference book, ever. This book is extremely easy to read and it gives you a very comprehensive understanding of all the terms, formula's, and theories associated with MW Engineering. Do yourself a favor, buy the book, take the one of the authors seminars. Your career will be positively affected.

I'm a technical trainer in the microwave industry. This book provides me with a lot of information that it is not usually available in one single cover. This is a must have reference source.
