This book expands and updates readers' knowledge to more modern digital communications systems, optical fiber communications systems, terrestrial; microwave radio communications systems, satellite communications systems, and cellular and PCS telephone communications systems. Chapter topics include data communications protocols and network configurations; digital transmission; multiplexing; microwave radio communications and system gain; satellite multiple-access arrangements; and mobile telephone service. For electronic technology engineers.
Advanced Electronic Communications Systems, Fifth Edition, provides comprehensive coverage of the field of digital communications. It extends and updates the knowledge of the reader to more modern digital communications systems, optical fiber communications systems, terrestrial and microwave radio communications systems, satellite communications systems, and cellular and PCS telephone communications systems.
In addition to updating all topics in order t present the latest information available in this fast-changing field, completely new sections have been added in this edition to include coverage of the following important topics:
- Trellis encoding
- CCITT modem recommendations
- PCM line speed
- Extended superframe format
- Wavelength division multiplexing
- Kepler's laws
- Clark orbits
- Limits of visibility
Also included is an entirely new chapter (Chapter 10) which is devoted to critical coverage of:
- Mobile telephone systems (including AMPS, PCS, and PCSS)
This text is written for use in undergraduate level electronic communications courses in which students have prior knowledge of some of the basic electronic principles as well as an understanding of mathematics through the fundamental concepts of calculus.
