商品描述

Thanks to the advancement of faster processors within communication devices, there has been a rapid change in how information is modulated, multiplexed, managed, and moved. While formulas and functions are critical in creating the granular components and operations of individual technologies, understanding the applications and their purposes in the business environment only requires a basic scientific background. The third edition of Introduction to Communications Technologies: A Guide for Non-Engineers helps students in telecommunications business programs become familiar with and stay abreast of the ever-changing technology surrounding their industry.

 

 

Used in the core curriculum at Ball State University's graduate professional program in Information and Communication Sciences, this textbook is designed for graduate and undergraduate students who do not necessarily have a high level of technical expertise, but need to have some understanding of the technical functions of information and communication technologies to prepare them for working in a corporate environment.

 

 

 

 

See What's New in the Third Edition:

 

 

 

 

  • Significant updates to the following chapters: Modulation Schemes; Signaling Formats, Multiplexing, and Digital Transmission; Packet Switching and Local Area Networks; Mobile Wireless Technologies; Network Security and Management
  • Added coverage of OFDMA, Metro Ethernet, 5G pre-standard configuration, 'apps' on mobile devices, and VoIP core switching
  • New chapters on Big Data and the Cloud

 

 

 

 

Avoiding complicated equations and the need for calculus gymnastics, this textbook provides non-engineering students with a firm background and a broad understanding of the knowledge necessary to work within the fast-paced and ever-changing communications industry.

 

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

感謝於通訊設備中更快處理器的進步,信息的調製、複用、管理和傳輸方式發生了迅速變化。雖然公式和函數在創建各種技術的細微組件和操作中至關重要,但在商業環境中理解應用及其目的只需要基本的科學背景。《通訊技術導論:非工程師指南》第三版幫助電信商業課程的學生熟悉並跟上其行業中不斷變化的技術。

本教科書用於巴爾州立大學信息與通訊科學研究生專業課程的核心課程,旨在為不一定具備高水平技術專業知識的研究生和本科生提供設計,讓他們對信息和通訊技術的技術功能有一定的理解,以便為在企業環境中工作做好準備。

第三版的新內容包括:

- 對以下章節進行了重大更新:調製方案;信號格式、複用和數字傳輸;分組交換和局域網;移動無線技術;網絡安全與管理
- 增加了對OFDMA、Metro Ethernet、5G預標準配置、移動設備上的「應用」以及VoIP核心交換的覆蓋
- 新增有關大數據和雲端的章節

本教科書避免了複雜的方程式和微積分的需求,為非工程專業的學生提供了堅實的背景和廣泛的理解,讓他們能夠在快速變化的通訊行業中工作所需的知識。
