The essential telecom handbook for the practicing electrical engineer!

From DSL to CDMA, from ATM to high-speed modems, Telecommunications Topics brings together the analysis, theory, and examples electrical engineers need to build tomorrow's telecommunications systems. Beginning with a practical review of deterministic and probabilistic analysis, it considers 22 core problems that lie at the heart of contemporary telecommunications system architecture, design, and performance. Coverage includes:

• Surrogate functions, including signals, periodic and transient functions, LTI systems, autocorrelation, and spectral density
• Probability, random variables and processes, entropy, and channel capacity
• Queueing models, noise, information theory, data signals, error detection, and correction
• Radio signals and modulation, including digital and spread spectrum modulation
• Characteristics of shared media systems using Aloha, CSMA, and CSMA/CD
• Optical fiber, cellular radio, and satellite systems

Thousands of electrical engineers find themselves working in telecommunications with little formal training in telecom theory and applications. Telecommunications Topics fills the gap, delivering theoretical and practical guidance for solving an extraordinary range of real-world problems. Whether you're concerned with maximizing throughput or eliminating transmission errors, estimating wireless cell size or enhancing data compression, this book gives you the technical grounding you need to be more effective.
