Communication Systems/Print Version

Current Status:

Introduction
This book will eventually cover a large number of topics in the field of electrical communications. The reader will also require a knowledge of Time and Frequency Domain representations, which is covered in-depth in the Signals and Systems book. This book will, by necessity, touch on a number of different areas of study, and as such is more than just a text for aspiring Electrical Engineers. This book will discuss topics of analog communication schemes, computer programming, network architectures, information infrastructures, communications circuit analysis, and many other topics. It is a large book, and varied, but it should be useful to any person interested in learning about an existing communication scheme, or in building their own. Where previous Electrical Engineering books were grounded in theory (notably the Signals and Systems book), this book will contain a lot of information on current standards, and actual implementations. It will discuss how current networks and current transmission schemes work, and may even include information for the intrepid engineer to create their own versions of each.

''This book is still in an early stage of development. Many topics do not yet have pages, and many of the current pages are stubs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.''
