The telecommunications engineers who authored this book intended it to be a useful study tool for those preparing for the certification examinations of the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers. From television's analog basics to digital technologies, the chapters cover such information as the fiber optic, coaxial, satellite, and radio frequency transmission paths to the interfaces to televisions, VCRs, Web appliances, and personal computers. After a broad overview of the topic, the material is organized into sections covering signals, headends, broadband distribution systems, system architecture, and customer interface issues. Stressing a practical understanding of the topic, the authors keep mathematics to a minimum. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
