Publisher's Synopsis
Exploring how digital and data communications interface with modern electronic communications sytems, this book extends electronic communications concepts to cover such topics as optical fibre links, microwave and satellite systems. Each concept addressed is supported through concrete examples. The work provides a broadened view of advancements in the field. New features include a rewritten second chapter on frequency generation - it now includes all necessary information on phase-lock loops and frequency synthesizers - and new coverage of wave guides and microwave antennas. Coverage is also included of the integrated services digital network (ISDN). Many examples are used in chapter discussions and each chapter concludes with a set of questions and problems.
