About this title

Synopsis

This comprehensive handbook of communications is more than a collection of basic data and the combined experience of the 33 specialists who wrote it. It is an informed overview and appraisal of the entire field - the result of applying the systems approach to communication engineering. Thus the book not only describes, but also compares and, where possible, evaluates, the alternatives confronting the designer of a communication system. And, in analyzing the requirements in terms of the possibilities, it facilitates not only optimum design but also improvement of existing systems. Experts in every aspect of communications have contributed their knowledge and experience to this volume, covering principles, customary practices, variations, and standards. Wherever appropriate, the book provides theoretical material as well as practical data, and includes original concepts and evaluations not published elsewhere. Five major sections cover fundamental design considerations . . . system engineering . . . circuit engineering . . . engineering and construction of facilities . . . and scientific fundamentals such as switching, noise, coding, and acoustical theory. Particular attention is given to data transmission, closed-circuit television, potential address systems, and radio frequency assignment procedures. All methods of communicating and transmission are thoroughly treated. This unique handbook is ideal as a guide to the relationship of one communications specialty to another . . . and thus helps the engineer working in one area to understand and cooperate with others in the development of an entire communications system. Donald H. Hamsher, currently with the U. S. Army Electronics Command, has had many years' experience in the communications field, specializing in system planning and engineering. He has served as the Army member on the committee that established technical standards for the interoperation of all military service communication equipment...
