8–1 THE EXPLOSIVE GROWTH OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS<br />

The explosive growth of both wire and wireless telecommunications has been sparked by the<br />

need for personal communication of voice, video, and data and the availability of low-cost<br />

integrated circuits and microprocessors. There is a relentless push for higher speed data transmission<br />

over wire and wireless systems. This is caused not only by the growth of traditional<br />

voice, video, and data systems, but also by the convenience of personal and smart cellular<br />

phones, e-mail with file attachments, and the use of the internet.<br />

The goal of this chapter is to examine the design of some practical communication systems.<br />

These systems are based on the communication principles that have been developed in<br />

previous chapters. Also, we see how modern designs are influenced by industry standards and<br />

how some sophisticated systems are the evolution of historical systems. This should be a<br />

“fun” chapter.<br />
