Communication Systems: Fundamentals and Design Methods

內容描述

Description

In undergraduate classes on
communications it is crucial for the students to acquire a deep and thorough
understanding of the system principles, methods of analysis, and design
tradeoffs. Communication Systems: Fundamentals and Design Methods provides a
rigorous mathematical treatment of modulations, covering well-established
analog techniques, such as AM and FM, and the more advanced digital formats,
such as QAM and CDMA. Using a probabilistic approach, the analytical
evaluation of system performance gives rise to the key concept of 'link
budget', showing the role of transmit power, channel bandwidth and receiver
noise level. Different systems are then compared on the basis of the above
parameters.
Key features:

Comprehensively covers the basics of
communication systems, without overemphasizing new technologies which
require a much deeper background

Presents a clearly outlined course
track, derived from years of teaching experience

Enriched by discussions and examples
of implementation, and by a wide variety of almost 300 problems, with
solutions provided in the companion website

Includes coverage of deterministic and
random signals, as well as transmission media and devices, passband signals,
linear, amplitude, angular, digital and binary modulation
The book is a perfect textbook for
undergraduate students on electrical engineering, computer science and
telecommunications courses, as well as graduate students, engineers and
operators involved in the design and deployment of communication networks.
