This exciting new edition of Miller's best-selling communications text is now full-color throughout! As before, Miller's student-friendly writing style and straightforward explanations of complex concepts are showcased in the new edition of this practical, readable introduction to electronics communications. Thoroughly updated, the Fifth Edition covers the full spectrum of introductory topics, from AM/FM transmission and reception, through digital and data communications, to the latest information on fiber optics. The first six chapters offer a building block approach to fundamentals, providing a solid foundation that will equip students for future coursework. Subsequent chapters are written to be stand-alone units, to allow instructors to pick-and-choose coverage that fits their students' needs and course objectives. Miller's comprehensive, accessible treatment ensures instructor's won't need to use extensive supplemental material, nor have to provide detailed explanations to clarify text narrative.
