Telecommunications Topics: Applications of Functions and Probabilities in Electronic Communications

Offers electrical engineers 22 core problems that lie at the heart of the architecture, design, and performance of contemporary telecommunications systems. After reviewing deterministic and probabilistic analysis, considers such aspects as surrogate functions including signals and periodic and transient functions, random variables and processes, queuing models, noise, information theory, radio signals and modulation, characteristics of shared media systems, and satellite systems. Includes very few bibliographic references. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
