This supplement to any standard communication systems text-book is one of the first books to successfully integrate the use of MATLAB in the study of communication systems concepts and problems. It has been developed for instructors and students like me who wish to make use of MATLAB as an integral part of their study. The former will find the means by which to use MATLAB as a powerful tool to motivate students and illustrate essential theory without having to customize the applications themselves; the latter will find relevant problems quickly and easily. The book includes numerous MATLAB based simulations and examples of communication systems, while providing a good balance of theory and hands-on computer experience.
This volume provides exercises that may be solved on the computer using the student edition of MATLAB. Assuming some familiarity with basic MATLAB, this volume is for advanced undergraduate students and graduate students in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science. This is a good supplement book indeed.
