"Explanations of the technologies are provided within the concepts of architecture and layering models, multiplexing and switching methods, routing algorithms and protocols, network control, traffic management methods, and QoS support. The book also offers one of the first overviews of the IP over WDM field."--Cover.

Newnes Communications Technology Handbook provides a discussion on different topics relevant to communications technology. The book is comprised of 39 chapters that tackle a wide variety of concern in communications technology. The coverage of the text includes technologies, such as analog digital communications systems, radio frequency receiver, and satellite systems. The book also discusses some methods and techniques used in communications technology, including mixer signal processing, modulation and demodulation, and spread spectrum techniques. The text will be of great use to engineers, technicians, and professionals involved in telecommunications.

ISDN will solve the problems every telecommuter, small business and home office user faces today: too many expensive phone lines, not enough speed and access to information. With a single ISDN line from the phone company, you can fax/phone/surf the net/videoconference at ten times the speed of one normal phone line. The CD-ROM includes the complete book text in searchable Adobe Acrobat format, plus the 500+ page North American ISDN Users Forum Application Catalog.
