Product Description
Product Description
Schweber conveys the reality of today's communication systems by balancing traditional elements with the three more recent, radical developments that have had dramatic effects on the field: the widespread use of integrated circuits, microprocessors and software, and digital techniques and signals. The second edition adds coverage of the latest technologies and applications: cellular (analogue and digital) phones, including GSM; personal communications system (PCS); undersampling, and the impact of fibre optics. It also expands treatment of existing topics including wireless and wired networks (local and wide-area) including ISDN, SONET, ATM and Internet.
From the Back Cover
Since the third edition of Electronic Communication Systems: A Complete Course was published, the worldwide growth in all aspects of communications has been astonishing and exponential. Email links people scattered all over the globe, and the Internet provide enormous information and entertainment resources to anyone who has basic access. Cellular phones are ubiquitous, outnumbering conventional wired phones in some countries, and provide convenient voice and data access from almost anywhere.
This updated and comprehensive edition continues to balance traditional topics with the latest advancements in the field, and builds on information given in previous editions by adding or expanding on numerous topics. These include:
- Fiber optics, optical amplifiers, and wavelength-division multiplexing
- New busses and interconnection standards such as CAN bus
- Internet Protocol and Voice over Internet Protocol
- Channel simulators and wireless noise characteristics
- Short-range Bluetooth wireless standard
- Smart antennas for cellular systems
- Cell phone architectures that are primarily digital
- Updated electromagnetic spectrum assignments
Also new to this edition is a CD of SystemView by Elanix, a powerful, system-level modeling and simulation tool for understanding communication-system performance and architectures.
Instructors who are using this book for a course will benefit from the accompanying Instructor's Manual (ISBN 0-13091622-6).

Fantastic textbook relating to communications- and more
13 Feb 1999
Format:Hardcover
As a college student involved in computers, this book is a resource. As a student interested in network software, hardware, and/or administration, it's a necessity. This book answers about 75% of the questions that I had regarding the first two units of MCSE. While I didn't need it to pass the tests, it was on the job knowledge that gets you noticed.

Good for technicians...as an engineer source: FATAL!
5 Nov 1999
Format:Hardcover
If you are not a Communications Engineer, this book will take you throught some (very basic) theory. The book is TOO expensive for what it has to offer (to engineers). I don't recommended to any engineer, not anyway for such a steep price! . If you are a Technician, ok, it will do, but don't even think about doing some simple designs and use this book as your refence!.
