Provides a detailed fully-illustrated treatment of the design of communication networks for command and control systems. Whilst covering the basic theory, emphasis throughout is placed upon the practical aspects of computer controlled communication. The communication network is treated as a system, rather than as a set of items of equipment, and methods are detailed to evaluate the worthiness of each block and the problems arising in interfacing them into the system. Also includes comparison tables for the selection of blocks for specific purposes. Means of transferring data between the various processing points, their potential advantages and possible defects are appraised and methods of solving such problems examined. Covers new advances in the fields of packet-switching communication network, multiple-access communication procedures, spread spectrum communication, digital voice exchanges, optical communication, and satellite communication.
