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)

由於通訊設備中處理器的快速進步,信息的調制、多路復用、管理和傳輸方式已經迅速改變。儘管公式和函數在創建個別技術的細粒度組件和操作中至關重要,但在商業環境中理解應用程序及其目的只需要基本的科學背景。《通信技術入門:非工程師指南》第三版幫助電信業務課程的學生熟悉並跟上他們所在行業不斷變化的技術。

這本教科書在鮑爾州立大學信息和通信科學研究生專業課程的核心課程中使用,專為研究生和本科生設計,他們不一定具有高水平的技術專業知識,但需要對信息和通信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。

第三版的新特點包括:

- 對以下章節進行了重大更新:調制方案;信號格式、多路復用和數字傳輸;分組交換和局域網;移動無線技術;網絡安全和管理
- 增加了對OFDMA、Metro Ethernet、5G預標準配置、移動設備上的應用程序和VoIP核心交換的涵蓋範圍
- 新增了關於大數據和雲的章節

這本教科書避免了複雜的方程式和對微積分的需求,為非工程專業的學生提供了堅實的背景和廣泛的知識,使他們能夠在快節奏和不斷變化的通信行業中工作。
