The purpose of this book is to extend and update the knowledge of the reader to the basic concepts of modern digital and data communications systems and networks, optical fiber communications systems, terrestrial and satellite radio systems, and both wireline and wireless telephone communications systems. The book was written so that a reader with knowledge in basic electronics and electronic communications principles and an understanding of mathematics through the fundamental concepts of calculus will be able to grasp the topics presented. Numerous examples emphasize the most important concepts. Questions and problems are included at the end of each chapter, and answers to selected problems are provided at the end of the book. This edition of Advanced Electronic Communications Systems provides a modern, comprehensive coverage of the field of electronic communications. Although nothing has been omitted from the previous edition, there are significant additions, such as three new chapters on telephone circuits and systems, two new chapters on cellular and PCS telephone systems, and three new chapters on the fundamental concepts of data communications and networking. In addition, numerous figures have been added and many figures have been updated. Chapter 1 introduces the reader to the basic concept of optical fiber transmission lines and lightwave propagation. Chapter 2 describes the fundamental concepts of digital modulation, including comprehensive descriptions of amplitude-shift keying (ASK), frequency-shift keying (FSK), phase-shift keying (PSK), quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), and differential phase-shift keying (DPSK). Chapter 2 also introduces the student to trellis code modulation and gives a comprehensive description of probability of error, bit error rate, and error performance. Chapters 3 through 5 cover the fundamental concepts of data communications circuits and describe basic networking fundamentals, such as topologies, error control, protocols, hardware, assessing techniques, and network architectures. Chapters 6 and 7 describe the basic concepts of digital transmission and multiplexing. Chapter 6 describes pulse code modulation, while Chapter 7 describes time-division multiplexing of PCM-encoded signals and explains the North American Digital Hierarcy and the North American FDM hierarchy. Wavelength division multiplexing of light waves is also introduced in Chapter 7. Chapters 8 through 10 give a comprehensive description of telephone instruments, signals, and wireline systems used in the public telephone network. Chapters 11 and 12 describe the basic concepts of wireless telephone systems, including cellular and PCS. Chapters 13 through 15 describe the fundamental concepts of terrestrial and satellite microwave-radio communications. Chapter 13 describes analog terrestrial microwave systems; Chapters 14 and 15 describe digital satellite systems.
