Communications Systems (1999) examines various communications systems using satellites, and includes much information on coding and modulation systems such as MOBIC, digital SNG systems, mobile phones, MPEG, MPEG4 capabilities and Hypermedia, the Grand Alliance TV systems, MUSE and how it is used in Japan, the European and North American Digital Video Broadcasting Systems, MMDS and Digital Audio Broadcasting. It explores the rapid convergence occurring between satellite and terrestrial services. It provides a solid base of principles, including mathematics where necessary, to explain the developments which have taken place within these industries.
