Description
Book SynopsisA concise introduction to the core concepts in digital communication, providing clarity and depth through examples, problems and MATLAB exercises. Its simple structure maps a logical route to understand the most basic principles in digital communication, and also leads students through more in-depth treatment with examples and step-by step instructions.
Trade Review'The use of a step-by-step approach to the design of signal transmission and reception techniques with the aid of examples, illustrations, and problem solving linked to practical systems is very useful.' Falah Ali, Senior Lecturer in Electrical Engineering, University of Sussex, UK
'What makes this book different from the existing books are elaboration of simple concepts and more examples.' Hsuan-Jung Su, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University
'The examples and problems constitute a very strong point in their text - they help to better understand the concepts.' Mónica Bugallo, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Stony Brook University, New York
