Summary
"This book is intended to serve two purposes: to provide a coherent explanation of the theories and procedures that underpin forensic radio surveying and of the network technologies being surveyed in a form that can be read cover to cover as a text book; but also to act as a reference resource that can be dipped into as needed"-- Provided by publisher
