This essential reference-the only one dedicated to telecommunications for electrical engineers-is available in print and online formats. Topics Include: Optical communications Modulation and demodulation Coding and decoding Communication networks Antennas John G. Proakis is the Series Editor for the Wiley Series in Telecommunications and Signal Processing. In preparing this Encyclopedia, Dr. Proakis been assisted by an editorial board of five leading telecommunications engineers from academia and industry to bring you: Approximately 300 articles on various topics in telecommunications Articles are written by experts in their fields A broad, clear overview of both the fundamentals and recent advances in telecommunications Cutting edge topics covering the entire field of telecommunications and signal processing For more information regarding the online edition of this major reference work, please visit: www.mrw.interscience.wiley.com/eot

Digital Transmission – A Simulation-Aided Introduction with VisSim/Comm is a book in which basic principles of digital communication, mainly pertaining to the physical layer, are emphasized. Nevertheless, these principles can serve as the fundamentals that will help the reader to understand more advanced topics and the associated technology. In this book, each topic is addressed in two different and complementary ways: theoretically and by simulation. The theoretical approach encompasses common subjects covering principles of digital transmission, like notions of probability and stochastic processes, signals and systems, baseband and passband signaling, signal-space representation, spread spectrum, multi-carrier and ultra wideband transmission, carrier and symbol-timing recovery, information theory and error-correcting codes. The simulation approach revisits the same subjects, focusing on the capabilities of the communication system simulation software VisSim/Comm on helping the reader to fulfill the gap between the theory and its practical meaning. The presentation of the theory is made easier with the help of 357 illustrations. A total of 101 simulation files supplied in the accompanying CD support the simulation-oriented approach. A full evaluation version and a viewer-only version of VisSim/Comm are also supplied in the CD.

Power Line Communications (PLC) is a promising emerging technology, which has attracted much attention due to the wide availability of power distribution lines. This book provides a thorough introduction to the use of power lines for communication purposes, ranging from channel characterization, communications on the physical layer and electromagnetic interference, through to protocols, networks, standards and up to systems and implementations. With contributions from many of the most prominent international PLC experts from academia and industry, Power Line Communications brings together a wealth of information on PLC specific topics that provide the reader with a broad coverage of the major developments within the field. Acts as a single source reference guide to PLC collating information that is widely dispersed in current literature, such as in research papers and standards. Covers both the state of the art, and ongoing research topics. Considers future developments and deployments of PLC
