Telecommunication Transmission Systems: Microwave, Fiber Optic, Mobile Cellular Radio, Data, and Digital Multiplexing

Telecommunications transmission has changed radically in the last 5 years, with the booming popularity of mobile cellular systems, microwave radios, fiber optics, and the increasing transmission of data. This book is thus an engineer's design guide to these systems, showing how they work, how to design them, and how to integrate them into more conventional networks. Part I covers the principles behind these new systems, including digital multiplexing and modulation, while Part II goes into design details about the various systems. The book ends with chapter on data transmission and a short chapter on the largest future market for telecommunications companies: TV broadcasting. An appendix lists all the worldwide standards needed to implement the systems listed in the book.
