For almost 25 years this volume has been the guide to designing and building telecommunications transmission systems and the reference of choice among a generation of communications engineers and technicians. Its total systems approach examines each telecommunications transmission speciality as an integral part of a larger system, constructing an indispensable framework for understanding and exploiting the ways in which each speciality affects all the others.
  • Fully updated to incorporate recent developments in telephone transmission, digital networks, microwave systems, radio systems, VSAT networks, meteor burst communication and fiber optics
  • Features entirely new chapters on cellular and wireless communication systems, cable and digital television, and low-Earth orbiting satellites
  • Provides detailed step-by-step instructions on how to design and implement all types of telecommunications links, systems and subsystems
  • Offers lucid explanations of cutting-edge design methodologies
