This totally revised and expanded version of Roger Freeman's volume maintains two basic objectives. Firstly, to describe how a telecommunication network functions and secondly, to provide sufficient technical detail to enable the design of such a network for use in any part of the world. The book draws a common thread through a variety of telecommunications disciplines showing how they interrelate and emphasizing important concepts such as quality of service and telephone traffic. With extensive coverage of both analog telephony and digital communication, particularly data systems and digital telephony, this second edition will provide an indispensible reference for all telecommunications engineers.

Demystifying the technology of telecommunications: a guided tour for the non-engineer This book provides an easy-to-understand introduction to the complex technical world of telecommunications. From bandwidth to data transfer protocol to PSTN, ISDN, PCS, or ATM-widely respected telecommunications expert and author Roger L. Freeman explains it all. He walks the reader through a vast array of current topics, providing an encyclopedic overview of all branches of telecommunications-telephony, data communications, enterprise networks, television transmission, wireless systems, and cellular/personal communication services (PCS).
Written for the layperson as well as newcomers to the field, this primer: Assumes no mathematical or technical know-how on the part of the reader Introduces all topics from the ground up Clearly defines all terms, illustrating them with tangible examples Features review questions at the end of each chapter, designed to test understanding and reinforce comprehension Includes one hundred figures to highlight the text Reviews, in three appendices, the most rudimentary of mathematical and electrical concepts, as well as decibels and their applications Fundamentals of Telecommunications allows sales, marketing, and management personnel in the telecommunications industry to better understand the various technical and operational issues that come up in the course of their work. It also gives investors and financiers a basic reference to draw upon when dealing with clients in this rapidly evolving market.

This updated and expanded Second Edition describes the newest wave in the telecommunication revolution and includes information on such ascendent technologies as cellular radio, personal communication systems (PCS), very small aperture terminal (VSAT) satellite communication networks, and meteor burst communications, as well as more established techniques such as troposcatter and high frequency (HF, 3-30 MHz) systems.
Data communication is the movement of encoded data by electronic means. It is the fastest growing segment of the telecommunications industry and is involved in almost every facet of life today. Written by bestselling telecommunications expert Roger Freeman, this updated edition provides a complete overview of data communications and a comprehensive guide to its practical aspects. Both a tutorial and a practical reference for the design and operation of data networks, this is the most comprehensive and detailed book available on data communications.
This revised and updated edition provides an in-depth survey of transmission techniques and their applications. Coverage extends to VSATS, digital radio links, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), and emphasizes digital techniques and meteor burst communication links. The handbook contains theoretical and practical techniques useful in any area of transmission system engineering.
The field of telecommunications is a rapidly growing one, with the bulk of the industry predicated on the telephone or PSTN (Public Switched Telecommunica-tion Network). The primary goal of Telecommunication System Engineering, Third Edition is to describe the development of the PSTN, the rationale behind its structure, and how dramatically it is evolving. Telecommunication System Engineering, Third Edition presents a technical overview of telecommunication networks from a system viewpoint, with the aim of showing how one discipline can interact with another to reach a desired goal. As in previous editions, the author covers all the concepts necessary for a complete understanding of the design of practical telecommunication networks, whether they are meant to carry voice, data, facsimile, telemetry, video, or any combination of these. Both local and long distance (toll) switching and transmission are covered, all in great detail, and two entire chapters are devoted to the subject of signaling. For the Third Edition, the author has amended and reorganized his material to include the latest technology in the industry.
For example, Chapter 6 has added material on new traffic routing techniques in the national network, and network design and configurations from a Bellcore perspective, while Chapter 7 features new material on line-of-sight microwave systems and satellite communications. Chapter 8 covers the latest developments in digital loop carrier, SONET and SDH, and delta modulation, and Chapter 11 offers new information on TCP/IP and related protocols, as well as IBM system network architecture (SNA). Two entire chapters have been added on emerging broadband-data technologies and the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). In addition, chapters have also been added on cellular/mobile radio and PCN/PCS and network management techniques. As in previous editions, the author approaches the information covered in a systematic and interactive way. Each chapter builds logically on the previous one, and the various disciplines are tied together with an eye toward combining them in the design of efficient and cost-effective telecommunication networks.
Telecommunication System Engineering, Third Edition remains an ideal reference source for telecommunications managers, technicians, and other practicing professionals as well as advanced students in telecommunications. Many changes have taken place in the field of telecommunications since the Second Edition of the popular and successful Telecommunication System Engineering was published in 1989. The Third Edition marks a major and groundbreaking revision of what is already a widely used and highly acclaimed text. As in previous editions, the author presents intertwining disciplines in a systematic and interactive way. To reflect recent developments in the field, the author has added chapters on such vital topics as cellular radio, asynchronous transfer mode, broadband technologies, and network management.
Contents of the Third Edition include: Some Basics in Conventional Telephony Local Networks Conventional Analog Switching in Telephony Signaling for Analog Telephone Networks Introduction to Transmission for Telephony Long-Distance Networks The Design of Long-Distance Links Digital Transmission Systems Digital Switching and Networks Introduction to Data Communications Data Networks and Their Operation Local Area Networks Integrated Services Digital Networks Emerging Broadband Data Technologies The Asynchronous Transfer Mode and Broadband ISDN CCITT Signaling System No. 7 Cellular/Mobile Radio and PCN/PCS Network Management
