Telecommunication System Engineering (Wiley Series in Telecommunications and Signal Processing)

Presents the general engineering considerations necessary to design practical telecommunication networks. Discusses both conventional analog telephony and digital communication, particularly data systems and digital telephony. Also treats these networks as carriers of data, facsimile, and video.

The latest version of this widely used handbook on telecommunication system engineering methodology describes the basic concepts of key technologies prevalent in the industry. Fully revised and expanded, it presents authoritative coverage of such important current topics as cellular radio, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), broadband technologies and network management. This book provides up-to-date coverage of the dramatic changes that have taken place in the industry since the last edition and describes the future applications of telecommunications networks and the future direction of the industry.
