Since the publication of the second edition of this highly acclaimed textbook, telecommunications has progressed at a rapid rate. Major advances continue to occur in mobile communications and broadband digital networks and services, sophisticated signal processing techniques are prevalent at increasingly higher bit rates, and digital systems are widespread. These developments need to be addressed in a textbook that bridges the gap in the current knowledge and teachings of telecommunications engineering.
Telecommunications Engineering, 3rd Edition offers an introduction to the major telecommunications topics by combining an analytical approach to important concepts with a descriptive account of systems design. Completely updated and expanded, this third edition includes substantial material on integrated services digital networks, mobile communications systems, metropolitan area networks, and more.
What's New in the 3rd Edition
- New chapter on mobile communications covering first generation analog and second generation digital systems
- Expanded chapter on non-linear coding of voice waveforms for PCM
- New section on NICAM
- Updated chapter on the transient performance of the phase locked loop
- Revised chapter on recent major developments in satellite television
- New introduction to coding techniques for burst errors
- Extended chapter on ISDN and broadband digital communications
Supplemented with worked problems, numerous illustrations, and extensive references to more advanced material, this textbook provides a solid foundation for undergraduate students of electrical, electronic, and telecommunications engineering.

The influence of telecommunications has increased steadily since the introduc- tion oftelegraphy, radio and telephony. Now, most of us are directly dependent on one or more of its many facets for the efficient execution of our work, at home, or in our leisure. Consequently, as a subject for study it has become more and more important, finding its way into a large range of higher education courses, given at a variety oflevels. For many students, telecommunications will be presented as an area of which they should be aware. The course they follow will include the essential features and principles of communicating by electromagnetic energy, without developing them to any great depth. For others, however, the subject is of more specialized interest; they will start with an overview course and proceed to specialize in some aspects at a later time. We have written our book with both types of student in mind. We have brought together a broader range of material than is usually found in one text, and we have tried to combine an analytical approach to important concepts with a descriptive account of system design. In several places we have stressed the approximate nature of analysis, and the need to exercise engineering judgement in its application. The intention has been to avoid too much detail, so that the text will stand on its own as a general undergraduate-level introduction, and it will also provide a strong foundation for those who will eventually develop more specialized interests.
