Publisher's Note
Digital PCS (otherwise known as ANSI-136) is one of today's most successful TDMA cellular standards, offering cellular customers superior network capacity coupled with advanced features. This book explains how the ANSI-136 compliant mobile phone operates and how it works together with the cellular network to allow customers to send and receive calls.

First explains that digital Personal Communications Service (PCS) is a marketing name for Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), a standard widely used by providers of mobile and cellular phone service in North America; and that the standard is actually known as TIA/EIA-136. Then explains the standard in detail and how mobile phones and cellular networks that are compliant with it interoperate. The treatment is suitable for design engineers who want to know how a piece or part they are responsible for fits into the larger system, to radio- frequency performance engineers engaged in setting parameters, and to sales agents explaining the system to potential customers.
