This text, an up-to-date and comprehensive volume on the rapidly expanding field of communications, presents complete and modern coverage of theory and practice through an application-driven approach. It fully addresses the variety, reality, complexity, and pervasiveness of today`s communication systems. After covering the fundamentals of electromagnetic spectrum, modulation, transmitters, receivers, cables, antennas, and digital concepts, over half the book is devoted to applications such as video, telephones, standard and DSL modems, RS232, cellular systems, networks, radar, Ethernet, the Internet and the World Wide Web, wired and wireless systems, satellites, Bluetooth, the Global Positioning System, and fiber optics. Rich in in-text learning aids, the book is designed for students of electronics and communication engineering. It will provide them with a thorough understanding of communication systems at the functional block diagram level; how systems are built with specific design tradeoffs and constraints; and how a system balances speed, performance, and complexity, cost, and power consumption. The companion CD provides a powerful, system-level modeling and simulation tool for understanding communication-system performance and architecture.ISBN-- 9788120322295
