Soft cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Rapid advances in electronic and optical devices and systems have enabled the implementation of very powerful codes with close to optimum error-control performance In addition new types of code and decoding methods have recently been developed and are beginning to be applied However error-control coding is complex novel and unfamiliar and not yet widely understood and appreciated This text provides a clear description of the essentials of the topic with comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the most useful codes and their decoding algorithms Block Cyclic BCH Reed-Solomon Convolutional Turbo and Low Density Parity Check LDPC codes are all described in-depth The book has a practical engineering and information technology emphasis and includes relevant background material and fundamental theoretical aspects Several system applications of error-control codes are described and the text is heavily illustrated with figures worked examples and exercises 392 pp.
