Features: The purpose of this book is to expand readers' knowledge of modern digital and data communication systems and networks, optical fiber communication systems, terrestrial and satellite radio systems, as well as wired and wireless telephone communication systems. The author assumes that readers have a basic understanding of electronics and electronic communication principles, as well as a mathematical foundation in the fundamental concepts of calculus, so that the understanding of the subject will not be difficult. The book includes numerous examples to reinforce the important concepts, and each chapter concludes with problems and exercises. The answers to some of the exercises are provided at the end of the book. This book is a professional textbook for undergraduate students in the United States, systematically covering comprehensive content in the field of modern electronic communication, including digital, data, optical fiber, microwave, satellite, as well as cellular and PCS telephone communication systems. The book consists of 15 chapters, including optical fiber transmission media, digital modulation, an introduction to data communication and networking, basic concepts of data communication, data link protocols and data communication networks, digital transmission, digital T-carriers and multiplexing, telephone devices and signals, telephone circuits, public telephone networks, cellular telephone concepts, cellular telephone systems, microwave communication and system gain, satellite communication and satellite multiple access communication, etc., covering the content of multiple courses such as communication principles, digital and data communication, telephone switching, and communication systems. The prerequisite courses are calculus fundamentals and electronic circuits. The book includes many examples to reinforce the basic concepts, as well as a large number of problems and exercises for readers to review and practice. This book can be used as a textbook for the electronic communication systems course in communication engineering programs, or as a supplementary textbook for related courses or as a self-study reference for technical personnel.
