Even among engineers and technicians, understanding of this complex subject remains limited. However, there is undeniably a growing need for all technology disciplines to gain intimate awareness of how their fields are affected by a more densely networked world.  \u003cp\u003eThe computer science field in particular is profoundly affected by the growing dominance of communications, and computer scientists must increasingly engage with electrical engineering concepts. Yet communications technology is often perceived as a challenging subject with a steep learning curve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo address this need, the authors have transformed classroom-tested materials into this accessible textbook to give readers an intimate understanding of fundamental communications concepts. Readers are introduced to the key essentials, and each selected topic is discussed in detail to promote mastery. Engineers and computer scientists will gain an understanding of concepts that can be readily applied to their respective fields, as well as provide the foundation for more advanced study of communications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a thorough grounding in the basics by focusing on select key concepts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClarifies comprehension of the subject via detailed explanation and illustration\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelps develop an intuitive sense of both digital and analog principles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces key broadcasting, wireless and wired systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelps bridge the knowledge gap between software and electrical engineering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRequires only basic calculus and trigonometry skills\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClassroom tested in undergraduate CS and EE programs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommunications Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e by Lee, Chiu, and Lin will give advanced undergraduates in computer science and beginning students of electrical engineering a rounded understanding of communications technologies.
