This text aims to give the professional engineer or graduate student a fully comprehensive yet practical understanding of the principles and technological issues of this major subject. The book contains a strong tutorial element and real-world orientation.

This revised, updated and extended fourth edition covers the entire field of satellite communications engineering from the techniques of orbital mechanics and radio wave propagation to the design of communication links and earth stations.

This textbook covers key networking topics, including technology and architecture, network design, types of networks, and applications. Chapters focus on technical matters, wireless communication technology, wireless networking, and wireless LANs.

This accessible and comprehensive book provides an introduction to the basic concepts and key circuits of radio frequency systems, covering fundamental principles that apply to all radio devices, from wireless data transceivers on semiconductor chips to high-power broadcast transmitters. Topics covered include filters, amplifiers, oscillators, modulators, low-noise amplifiers, phase-locked loops, and transformers.

It explores the rapid convergence that is occurring between satellite and terrestrial services. Topics covered include: current material on coding and modulation systems such as MOBIC; digital SNG systems; mobile phones; MPEG; MPEG4 capabilities and Hypermedia; the Grand Alliance TV system; MUSE and how it is used in Japan; the European and North American Digital Video Broadcasting Systems; MMDS; and Digital Audio Broadcasting.

Despite the growing literature on many aspects of communications technology, relatively little has been published on the functioning and planning of complete networks. The long-awaited 2nd edition of this seminal and best-selling telecommunications book is intended to fill that gap, discussing the structure and performance of networks in the context of the services they provide. It is written with the young engineer in mind, but will give professional specialists a deeper understanding of their work too.

The material in this book is essential for engineers studying and working in the field of spececraft design. The unique feature of this book is that its coverage aims at giving the breadth which is needed by system engineers, with an emphasis on the bus aspect rather than on the payload.

This best-selling, easy to read, communication systems book has been extensively revised to include an exhaustive treatment of digital communications. Throughout, it emphasizes the statistical underpinnings of communication theory in a complete and detailed manner.
