Books in the Wiley Survival Guides in Engineering and Science series

A compelling treatment of FTTH Written by telecommunications pioneer Paul Green Jr. , Fiber to the Home is a comprehensive examination of the technical and social implications of fiber to the home (FTTH), the technology that extends the current fiber optic backbone to optically connect it directly to homes and offices.

"Wiley Survival Guide in Global Telecommunications: Signaling Principles, Protocols, and Wireless Systems" provides a rapid introduction to the whole field of telecom technologies and should provide a consistent starting point for further study for a broad audience.

This book presents the main phenomenon of propagation of electromagnetic waves in the most used frequency bands. It provides the background covering wave propagation, antennas, atmospheric and ionospheric influences, terrain influence, and weather conditions and their effect on signal transmission.

The field of radionavigation signals and systems has seen great growth in recent years. Satellite systems are very efficient but, due to their limited coverage and/or availability in some environments, do not cover the whole spectrum of applications.

Fiber Optic Essentials starts with a basic discussion on lightwaves and the phenomenon of refraction and reflection. It then goes on to introduces the reader to the field of fiber optics and covers some of the recent developments, such as fiber amplifiers, dispersion compensation and nonlinear effects.
