About this title

From the Back Cover

The Most Comprehensive and Up-to-Date Telecommunications Engineering Reference Available

From the Reviews of the Second Edition:
"...well on its way to becoming the definitive, unabridged compendium for engineers and technicians involved in radio and telecommunications systems and subsystems design?will compliment and enhance ready reference libraries across a wide spectrum of professional disciplines, from the smallest practicing consultant to the largest corporate engineering staff." ?Commtronic Engineering

"...instant access to design information...A necessary reference tool." ?CHOICE

"...an invaluable sourcebook..." ?Telecommunication Journal

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
For over 15 years the earlier editions of the Reference Manual for Telecommunications have been regarded as essential design tools for engineers and technicians involved in every facet of communications technology. To stay abreast of the numerous changes the telecommunications industry has witnessed in recent years, the Manual has grown with the technology. This new completely revised and updated Third Edition has been expanded to a two-volume set featuring over 3500 pages of the latest information on designing, building, purchasing, using, and maintaining telecommunications systems.

ONE CONVENIENT SOURCE
This Third Edition of the Reference Manual for Telecommunications Engineering provides a wealth of new and revised tables, figures, nomograms, formulas, statistics, standards, regulations, and explanatory text required for the daily professional needs of telecommunications engineers, managers, and technicians. Gathering a wide range of carefully selected information from industry, government, and academia, this central source of telecommunications information eliminates the need for other references, both print and electronic, by providing a huge supply of data in one convenient package.

PROVIDING THE STANDARD
Covering everything from digital networks to wireless communications to enterprise networks, the new edition of the Reference Manual provides engineers and technicians with essential interface information. Major emphasis is placed on the latest practices and standards prepared by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU)
Telecordia
Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers (IEEE)
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
as well as additional worldwide industrial and military sources.
