Electronic Communications for Technicians

Electronic Communications for Technicians, written by a technician, presents the world of electronic communications in an approach that is exciting and fun, without sacrificing depth or clarity. For example, every attempt is made to build on the student's already broad base of everyday experience, with real-world examples and case studies throughout. Real circuits and systems are emphasized, with their troubleshooting and necessary safety procedures. The level of mathematics has been moderated so that only basic algebra skills are needed to work most of the problems in the text. Included with this text is a CD-ROM that brings many of the circuits to life using Electronics Workbench. The following topics are developed in careful detail: Introduction to RF Communications Signal Analysis Amplitude Modulation AM Transmitters Single-Sideband Systems Systems for Frequency Generation FM Transmission FM Reception Television Transmisison Lines Antennas Electromagnetic Wave Propagation Microwave Communication Systems Introduction to Data Communications The Global Positioning System Fiber Optic and Laser TechnologyWheeler, Tom is the author of 'Electronic Communications for Technicians' with ISBN 9780130131393 and ISBN 0130131393.
