This text provides a broad introduction to basic analogue and digital principles and their application to the design and analysis of real-world communication systems. It provides students with a working knowledge of how to use both classical mathematical and personal computer methods to analyze, design, and simulate modern communication systems. This edition contains updated examples and homework problems (with selected answers) many of which require solution via a personal computer. Also new is the accompanying disk with over 115 computer solution MATLAB M-files and MathCAD templates for selected topics, as well as a new chapter with up-to-date cases of telephone, satellite, fibre optic, PCS, and HDTV systems. The appendix on Computer Communications and Modems has been updated, as have all standards and references.

Synopsis

This work covers the practical aspects of communication systems as developed from sound theoretical principles. This third edition includes updated coverage of FCC and industry standards and new developments of digital and computer communication systems.
