Communications Systems

This is a complete revision of the second edition of Communications Services via Satellites. It brings the material covered right up to date, including much more information on coding and modulation systems such as MOBIC, digital SNG systems, mobile phones, MPEG, MPEG4 capabilities and Hypermedia, the Grand Alliance TV systems, MUSE and how it is used in Japan, the European and North American Digital Video Broadcasting Systems, MMDS and Digital Audio Broadcasting.


Communications Systems explores the rapid convergence that is occurring between satellite and terrestrial services. It provides a solid base of principles, including mathematics where necessary, to explain the developments which have taken place within these industries.

This is an invaluable source of reference for all system design engineers involved in the commissioning, design and installation of communications technologies, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate engineers and technicians.
