 Preface

My dear students,

I am extremely happy to present the book of Communication

Engineering for you. I have divided the subject into small chapters so
that the topics can be arranged and understood properly. The topics
within the chapters have been arranged in a proper sequence to ensure
smooth flow of the subject.

A large number of solved examples have been included. So, I am

sure that this book will cater all your needs for this subject.

I am thankful to Shri. Pradeep Lunawat and Shri. Sachin Shah for

the encouragement and support that they have extended. I am also
thankful to the staff members of Katre Publications and others for their
efforts to make this book as good as it is. We have jointly made every
possible efforts to eliminate all the errors in this book. However if you
find any, please let us know, because that will help me to improve further.

I am also thankful to my family members and friends for their

patience and encouragement.

- J. S. Katre
