Out in the field, in your office, or in class, Telecommunications Pocket Reference, by Travis Russell, helps you deliver winning telecom decisions for any system. An overview of telecom basics — transmission, protocols, and networking — this handy tool designed for easy portability answers virtually any telecom question, from network configurations to voice over the Internet. Uniquely readable, it gives you:

* Comparative data on all major telecom technologies and protocols
* Coverage of LAN/WANs, including Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI
* Answers on TCP/IP, voice over IP, and other Internet technologies
* Key facts on ISDN, broadband ISDN, cellular, SONET, ATM, Signaling System #7, and more
* Data on fiber optics, switching and bridging, and cellular protocols
* Critical information on emerging technologies such as Local Number Portability (LNP) and Number Pooling

The pace of change within telecommunications, measured in terms of technology and the opening up of markets to competition, has continued steadily since the highly acclaimed first edition of the Telecommunications Engineer’s Reference Book was published. To keep up with all these changes this second edition has been extensively revised, and seven completely new chapters added.

The book maintains a balance between new developments and established technologies since telecommunications systems, once in the network, represent a substantial investment which tends to be mainted for a relatively long time. New operators have the advantage of being able to use the latest technologies when building their new networks.

The book is structured in five parts. Part 1 introduces mathematical techniques which are required for the analysis of telecommunications systems. Part 2 deals with the physical environment of telecommunications. Part 3 describes various components used within telecommunication systems, both wireline and wireless. Part 4 covers fundamental telecommunication topics. Part 5 describes telecommunication applications and represents the largest section of the book. The topics have been selected and grouped in order to cover all the major areas within telecommunications, spanning the field of transmission and switching, the transmission media being copper, fiber optic or wireless.

The first comprehensive applied book in five years on this rapidly-changing area of telecommunications, here is the only resource capable of bringing you fully up to speed on the latest developments in fiber optic communication systems (FOCS).

Designed to help you master the mathematics and statistics needed to create high-performance FOCS, Fiber Optic Communications offers current, in-depth coverage of optical amplifiers, optical detectors, wave-division multiplexing, optical heterodyne detection (OHD) systems, the pros and cons of OHD receivers versus direct detection receivers, and the design and performance of a proposed OHD system that features much greater detector sensitivity.

Today most detailed treatment of the present and future of FOCS, Fiber Optic Communications helps you to develop systems that will be able to fulfill ultra-high-speed communication requirements well into the 21st century.
