The Fundamentals of Signal Transmission - In Line, Waveguide, Fibre and Free Space (Electronic book text)

"The Fundamentals of Signal Transmission" presents a discussion of the main forms of signal transmission media. Twisted pair, coaxial line, optical fibre, waveguides and freespace propagation and antennas are covered using a standard format in this book. After a discussion of signals in general, the nature of wave propagation is examined. These fundamentals are then related to the specific transmission types. Mathematics is kept as simple as possible and is complemented by ample qualitative explanation; where necessary more detailed mathematics can be found in the appendices. This book assumes some knowledge of basic electronic circuit theory and field theory. Written in an informal and accessible style, "The Fundamentals of Signal Transmission" provides all undergraduate electronics engineers with a concise overview of electromagnetic signal transmission. Written in an informal and accessible style, this book provides a concise overview of electromagnetic signal transmission and covers all the main types of signal transmission in one volume.
