Synopsis

The rapid expansion of telecommunication networks calls has created the need for a new edition to assist readers with the development of understanding of new telecommunication technologies. This textbook, now in its second edition, is designed for final-year undergraduate and the first-year graduate students in electronics and communication engineering and allied subjects.

The text covers both switching systems and telecommunications networks. It begins with a brief discussion of the evolution of telecommunications. It then goes on to provide a classification scheme for switching systems, describes the basic components of a switching system and the fundamental concepts of network structures. It also provides in-depth coverage of fibre optic communication systems and traffic engineering concepts.

Of particular importance is the thorough treatment of the most important telecommunication networks, viz. the public switched telephone network (PSTN), the public data network (PDN), and the integrated services digital network (ISDN).

Worked-out examples and exercises will help in understanding all aspects of telecommunication engineering.
