Communication for Command and Control Systems provides a thorough exposition of the basic theoretical and practical features involved in the design of communication networks for command and control systems. This book focuses primarily on the practical side of computer-controlled communication. This text concentrates on the communication sides of the subject by surveying the means of transferring data between the various processing points and by appraising their potential advantages and possible defects in implementation. In this respect, this book should prove useful for the practicing engineer engaged in command and control system design in civil, military, and administrative spheres. Accompanying materials such as charts and illustrations are also provided as useful reference. For the system designers, this text is a unique reference; this book also presents comparison tables that can be of practical assistance in the selection of the blocks for specific operations.
With The Global Trends In Communication And Data Networks, Leading To Idn And Isdn, There Is A Special Need For A Comprehensive Book On Thestate-Of-The-Art In Digital Communication. In The Absence Of Such A Reference Book, Most Of Our Senior Professionals And Academics Find It Very Hard To Keep Themselves Abreast Of The Recent Developments Leading To Information Revolution And Digital Revolution. The Present Volume Is An Attempt To Fill This Gap.The Book Consists Of Ten Chapters, And Discusses Such Topics As, Principles Of Digital Modulation, Source Encoding, Data Transmission Through Cables And Optical Fibres, Digital Radio Including Satellite Communication, Data Networks And Digital Switching, Information Theory And Coding, Survival Of Communication Including Spread Spectrum Techniques, And Future Trends Including Isdn. Conceptually The Chapters Attempt To Discuss From A System Point Of View, A Total Digital Communication Network, E.G., Idn, And The Total Range Of Signal Processing Techniques Has Been Presented In Subsequent Chapters, Thus Maintaining A Continuity Of Thought From End-To-End.The Book Is, Therefore, Addressed To Both Professionals In Telecommunications And Senior Students In This Area.
