Electronic Communications System: Fundamentals Through Advanced, Fifth Edition

For courses in Introduction to Electronic Communications and Digital and Data Communications. Comprehensive in scope and contemporary in coverage, this text introduces basic electronic and data communications fundamentals, and explores their application in modern digital and data communications systems. Students with previous knowledge in basic electronic principles and fundamental calculus concepts will gain a complete understanding of the topics presented here. Tomasi's Advanced Electronic Communications Systems 6/e is the last 10 chapters of this text.

Now in its fifth edition, this text continues to provide a modern comprehensive coverage of electronic communications systems. It begins by introducing basic systems- and concepts and moves on to today's technologies: digital, optical fiber, microwave, satellite, and data and cellular telephone communications systems.

Significant material has been added, including:

• Three chapters on telephone circuits and systems
• Two chapters on cellular and PGS telephone systems
• Three chapters on fundamental concepts of data communications and networking
• New and updated figures

This text is designed for undergraduate communications courses in which students have prior knowledge of some basic electronic principles as well as an understanding of mathematics through the fundamental concepts of calculus.
