Electronic Communication (Analog, Digital and Wireless)

The book has sought to present the massive transition that has taken place from largely analog communication systems to all-encompassing digital systems. This has been done in two ways. Firstly, all the chapters in the earlier editions have been totally revised and updated making them technologically relevant to the current status of technologies being deployed.Secondly, sixteen new chapters dealing with digital communication theory and systems have added. These are Electromagnetic Theory, Information Theory, Coding Theory, Semiconductor Microwave Devices, Pulse Communication, Pulse Code Modulation(PCM), Optical Fibre Communication, Direct Consequences Spread Spectrum Technologies, Digital Telephony, Audio Engineering, Global Positioning System, Data Communication, Digital Telephony, Audio Engineering, Global Positioning System, Data Communication, Digital Satellite Communication, VSAT, Internet and Wireless Communication. These additions have made the book as the first ever comprehensive work on modern electronic communications.*Introduction to communications systems *Electromagnetic theory *Noise *Information theory *Coding theory *Amplitude modulation *Angel modulation: FM and PM *Radio receivers: AM, SSBB and FM *Transmission lines *Wave propagation and radiation * Radiation and antennas *Waveguides, resonators and microwave components *Microwave tube oscillators and amplifiers *Microwave measurements *Semiconductor microwave devices *Radar systems *Radio Navigation *Audio Engineering *Television systems *Pulse communications systems *Pulse-code modulation(PCM) *Data communication *Broadband communications systems *Fibre optics communications *Error control coding for digital systems *Direct-sequence-spread spectrum communications *Digital satellite (Direct-to-home) TV systems and VSAT *Global positioning satellite systems *Digital telephony *Internet *Wireless communication *Satellite communications systems
