Book Description

December 5, 1990 0070571570 978-0070571570 6
Electronic Communication has been one of the most popular textbooks in its field for many years. This expanded. Sixth Edition utilizes the same user friendly format to prepare students for the operation, installation, and. maintenance of most modern electronic and radio communication systems. Performance objectives have been. added to each chapter to guide student focus. Electronic. Communication provides information on the interrelationship. of voltage, current, resistance, inductance, and capacitance as well as discussions of various active devices currently in use. While the text emphasizes semiconductor devices and circuitry, it still retains an adequate amount of vacuum tube theory. In addition, this edition features up-to-date coverage of digital communications and fiber optics, topics that are critical to the skills development of today�s communication student. To reinforce understanding of subjects just covered, check-up quizzes are inserted every few pages in most chapters, with answers on the next turned page. End-of-chapter questions, which include number references to the section or figure where the answer can. be found, check comprehension of the entire chapter�s material. Bold letters prefixing many end-of-chapter questions indicate that a similar question may appear in one of the specific certification license tests..

. The Lab Manual has been expanded to include much more experiments that correlate and correspond with the revisions made to the text. As always, the manual�s experiments reinforce text content and are an integrated part of the total package.. . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a great book, December 22, 1999
By 
Robert Koch (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electronic Communication (Hardcover)
I first encountred the first edition of this book in 1971 when attending College in Southern California. I started using the 4th edition in 1981 when I began instructing a college class on radio Communications. I have used Shrader ever since. The reason I use Shrader's book is because the book is accurate. Other books I have attempted to use have had errors in formulas and some information was not quite clear for the students. Shrader covers many subjects with a good basic explaination of circuits and systems. Shrader not only has a good understanding of the subject material he is able to relate the information without confusion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent text from basic electricity to advanced circuits., March 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Electronic Communication (Hardcover)
I was introduced to this book by a fellow satellite communications tech in the Army about 12 years ago. Although I had received extensive training, before and after joining the Army, I found that this book was able to fill in many of my knowledge gaps; particularly in the area of transmitter design and modulation techniques. The author starts with the very basics of AC / DC then progresses chapter by chapter into advanced communications techniques. Almost all of the circuits are solved or modeled algebraically instead of using more advanced integration / differentiation formulas. Therefore, the text can be followed by anyone with at least a high school math background. The book that I had was an older edition with a lot of vacuum tube theory (most of us will never see a vacuum tube outside of a CRT). If there had been less tube and more solid state text, I would have given this book 5 instead of 4 stars. Overall, highly recommended. A good buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Electronics Encyclopedia, November 24, 2003
By 
Chuck R. (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electronic Communication (Hardcover)
I have kept an edition of this book around for 12 years. I have used this book to brush up for electronic exams when I changed jobs (some companies give pre-employment exams). I also used this book as a reference to learn new equipment I was not familiar with before. I find this to be a better reference than people.
This book contains almost all electronic information you may need: basic electronics, antennas, opamps, microwave and radar, transmitters and receivers. All material is written in a condensed form and is to the point. Sometimes half a page tells you all you need - you are not wading through pages and pages of vague information.
This one book is packed with the best electronic reference available. A must for electronic technicians and engineers who encounter a wide array of equipment.
