Product Description

Product Description

Digital techniques are central to almost all modern telecommunications systems. The third edition of Digital Communications has retained both its comprehensive coverage and its balance between theory, applications and systems implementation. Its main aim is to develop the mathematical theory of signal processing and use this theory to describe modern digital communications.

 

This text is geared towards students who already have a technical understanding of electrical engineering from their introductory years at university and who wish to focus on digital communications. It covers everything these students will need to know, including modern techniques. It is also suitable for professional engineers.

From the Back Cover

Digital techniques are central to almost all modern telecommunications systems.  The third edition of Digital Communications has retained both its comprehensive coverage and its balance between theory, applications and systems implementation.  Its main aim is to develop the mathematical theory of signal processing and use this theory to describe modern digital communications. 

Key features

  • Presents a comprehensive quantitative treatment of digital communications principles including information theory, PCM, source coding, encryption, channel coding, multiplexing, modulation and optimum filtering
  • Includes a thorough treatment of system noise and communication link budgets
  • Introduces the principles of system simulation
  • Describes a range of modern systems, including satellite communications, cellular radio and networks (wireless MANs, LANs and PANs)
  • Provides a revised and extended treatment of networks that includes OFDM, circuit and packet switching, ATM and B-ISDN,  MIMO, xDSL, FTTx, FDDI, DQDB, BFWA (including IEE 802.16),  Bluetooth and UWB
  • Extensive examples and end-of-chapter problems
  • Updated references, web addresses, standards and bibliography
  • Outline solutions to problems available for instructors on the WWW

This text is suitable for undergraduates and first year postgraduate students.  It also provides an excellent overview for professional engineers.

I am a EEE (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) student (NOT a lecturer and NOT at Strathclyde University). I have all 3 editions as the book is really that good!

If you take Information Transmission and Security then this is the book to get! You will not be disappointed!
