Fundamentals of electrical engineering

Johnson D.H., Wise J.D.

From its beginnings in the late nineteenth century, electrical engineering has blossomed from its focus on electrical circuits for power, telegraphy and teletelephony to a much broader range of disciplines. Still, the underlying themes are relevant today: Power creation and transmission and information have run through electrical engineerings century and a half life. This book concentrates on the latter theme: the representation, manipulation, transmission, and reception of information by electrical means. This book describes what information is, how engineers quantify information, and how electrical signals represent information.
