Whether you design, implement, buy, or sell communications systems, components, or services, it provides the answers.
The bestselling first edition of The Communications Handbook provided the most comprehensive reference ever published for this rapidly advancing field. The second edition goes even further and has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the many key developments of the last three years. The revisions include many new chapters, significant expansion of the Wireless section, and extensive updates of the remaining chapters. Now more than ever, this handbook belongs on the shelf of every engineer in the many disciplines related directly or indirectly to the field of communications.
"The Communications Handbook is an extensive, scholarly, professional level resource to the practical applications of electrical engineering technology for telephones, communication networks, data recording, source compression, and much more. The Communications Handbook is strongly recommended as being an utterly exhaustive reference resource which is packed from cover to cover with extensive in-depth science and technical applications."
-Michael's Bookshelf
"An extensive revision of the first edition reflects many significant developments that have taken place in communications and electrical engineering over six years. . . Like its original release, this edition boasts an international list of contributors from industry and academic research centers. . . Serving as a dictionary, encyclopedia and reference work containing many bibliographic references, this volume stands out as a major tool because it can accompany textbooks and other resources or easily stand on its own as an authoritative work. . . This title should be available in at least one format in all academic libraries and large public libraries."
