Author's Review

Please be advised that IEEE Press/Wiley have published mylatest edition #3. This book has been updated and featurestwo new chapters and major changes to existing chapters.The second edition is no longer available. Thank you. John Nellist

Concise building block approach

A very clear introduction to the basics of telecommunications, especially fibre optics. Suitable for the literate layperson or businessman. Avoids the problems with other books in this genre: too superficial over too many topics. Gives you a great base of knowledge in the core elements of telecoms at the exact right level of detail.
