Introducing concepts in the analysis and design of analog and digital communication systems, this text is intended primarily for use in a senior or first-year graduate introductory course in communications. It assumes a strong background in signals and linear systems theory and elementary probability. The text provides a detailed coverage of communication systems topics, including source coding, channel coding, baseband and carrier modulation, channel distortion and equalization, synchronization, and spread-spectrum techniques. Because of the increasing prevalence of digital communication technologies, it gives significant emphasis to digital communication concepts and techniques. Although the text is more theoretical than applications-oriented, it contains over 180 worked-out examples and over 480 problems (many with answers) to aid the reader in applying the theory to real-world situations. The authors give extra attention to the more challenging concepts, making this an ideal text for those new to the subject.
