Product Description

Product Description
With the advent of the PC, the Internet, modems, the compact disc and digital TV broadcasting, the analog world is being slowly replaced by the new digital world. Everyone knows about this trend, but few understand it. Much of what is happening with the technology is counterintuitive –– even to an engineer. UNDERSTANDING DIGITAL TRANSMISSION AND RECORDING explains the essence of digital communication and recording for working engineers, students and other professionals working across industries. Even the communications engineer who is steeped in the mathematics of the field will find this book helpful in understanding the larger picture.

From the Back Cover
Electrical Engineering Understanding Digital Transmission and Recording A Volume in the IEEE Press Understanding Science & Technology Series With the advent of PCs, the Internet, high–speed modems, compact discs, and digital (including high–definition digital) television, the analog world is quickly being replaced by the digital world. Digital transmission applications are now a major force in the communications industry. Understanding Digital Transmission and Recording explains the technical fundamentals behind it all. Written expressly for engineers, students, and professionals working across industries, Understanding Digital Transmission and Recording combines a highly pictorial approach with practical mathematics to provide an exceptionally intuitive learning experience for the reader. The author details the two basic, problems in digital transmission and recording: first, how to design digital signals so that the information is transmitted or recorded accurately and efficiently; and second, how to encode essentially analog information such as speech and video into digital form. This book also discusses timely new topics such as the digital versatile disk (DVD), the next–generation compact disc. Readers will gain a practical understanding of:

Digital modulation and coding schemes commonly used for power limited and bandwidth limited channels
Multiple–access techniques, such as spread spectrum
Digitization of voice and video with and without data compression
Elements of the MPEG2 compression technique used for digital TV
How the compact disc works, including transmission techniques
Fourier analysis, needed to understand the digital signaling waveforms

Even the communications engineer who is steeped in the mathematics of the field will find this book helpful in understanding the larger picture.
