Modern Communication Engineering: Analog, Data and Optical Fibre Systems

Modern Communication Engineering offers a comprehensive and application-oriented exploration of communication systems, technologies, and network infrastructures that support modern digital connectivity. The book begins with the fundamentals of communication engineering, including signal analysis, communication channels, modulation techniques, noise analysis, and information theory. The text examines both analog and digital communication systems, covering pulse modulation, source coding, channel coding, multiplexing techniques, and error control mechanisms. It further explores wireless communication technologies, cellular networks, mobile communication systems, satellite communication, microwave engineering, and optical fiber communication. A significant portion of the book is devoted to contemporary developments such as 5G and emerging 6G technologies, Internet of Things (IoT) communication frameworks, software-defined networking, cloud-based communication services, and intelligent communication systems powered by artificial intelligence. The book also addresses communication security, network performance optimization, spectrum management, and quality-ofservice considerations. Supported by diagrams, case studies, numerical examples, and practical applications, the book serves as an essential resource for students, educators, researchers, and professionals seeking to understand the principles and innovations shaping modern communication engineering and future communication networks.
