Engineering

The aim of this book is to present in a simple and concise manner the

fundamental principles common to the majority of information communications

systems. Mastering the basic principles permits moving on to concrete

realizations without great difficulty. Throughout, concepts are developed

mostly on an intuitive, physical basis, with further insight provided by means of a combination of applications and performance curves. Problem sets

are provided for those seeking additional training. Starred sections containing

basic mathematical development may be skipped with no loss of continuity by

those seeking only a qualitative understanding. The book is intended for

electrical, electronics, and communication engineering students, as well as

practicing engineers wishing to familiarize themselves with the broad field of

information transmission, particularly satellite communications.
