Download or read book Communications Standard Dictionary written by Martin H. Weik and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communications * Standard Dictionary is a comprehensive compilation of terms and definitions used in communications and related fields. Communications is defined as the branch of science and technology concerned with the process of representing, transferring, and interpreting the meaning as signed to data by and among persons, places, or machines. Communication is defined as the transfer of information between a source (trans mitter, light source) and a sink (receiver, photodetector) over one or more chan nels in accordance with a protocol, and in a manner suitable for interpretation or comprehension by the receiver; or as a method or means of conveying informa tion of any kind from one person or place to another. In short, communications is a branch of science and technology, whereas com munication pertains to the actual transfer of information. Thus, the word com munication should be used as a modifier, as in communication center, communi cation deception, and communication line, just as in the field of electronics one speaks of electronic devices and electronic circuits.

It includes many useful features, namely definitions, synonyms and spelling variants, bibliographic sources, and extensive cross-referencing of keywords, as well as a separate listing of acronyms and abbreviations, and French and German indexes. The major value of this dictionary is thus twofold. As a dictionary it contains features that language specialists have come to expect: definitions and bibliographic sources. As a technical dictionary it brings order and coherence to a seemingly chaotic multitude of terms and expressions from a broad spectrum of scientific, technical and medical disciplines.
