I would like you to recommend me a book that fits the description below:
A book on telecommunication systems. It should be explaining the basics of telecommunications, from the early analog modulation schemes to digital modulation. How modern telecommunication infrastructures work (i.e., mobile phones, landline telephones, internet and so on). Things on fiber optics, 3G and 4G and all these jargons. Explanations on the 'block diagram' level. No low-level design, circuits and such.
I could be asking for too much, and yeah, these can be obtained from the internet, but it wouldn't be easy to gather a reasonable amount of consistent, reliable and correct information. Getting knowledge from a book, and from a good author, is something I appreciate.
