Get a Solid Account of Physical Layer Communications Theory, Illustrated with Numerous Interactive MATLAB Mini-Projects
You can rely on Fundamentals of Communications Systems for a solid introduction to physical layer communications theory, filled with modern implementations and MATLAB examples. This state-of-the-art guide covers essential theory and current engineering practice, carefully explaining the real-world tradeoffs necessary among performance, spectral efficiency, and complexity.
Written by an award-winning communications expert, the book first takes readers through analog communications basics, amplitude modulations, analog angle modulation, and random processes. This essential resource then explains noise in bandpass communications systems:bandpass Gaussian random processes:digital communications basics:complexity of optimum demodulation:spectrally efficient data transmission...and more. Fundamentals of Communications Systems features:
* A modern approach to communications theory, reflecting current engineering applications
* Numerous MATLAB problems integrated throughout, with software available for download
* Detailed coverage of tradeoffs among performance, spectral efficiency, and complexity in engineering design
* Text written in four parts for easy modular presentation
