Digital Communications, Second Edition is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of the classic, best-selling introduction to digital communications. Dr. Bernard Sklar introduces the digital communications technologies at the heart of today's wireless and Internet revolutions with remarkable clarity and simplicity, providing a unified structure and a context for understanding them -- all without sacrificing mathematical precision.KEY TOPICS:Sklar begins by introducing the fundamentals of signals, spectra, formatting, and baseband transmission. Next, he presents practical coverage of virtually every contemporary modulation, coding, and signal processing technique, with numeric examples and step-by-step guidance for implementation. Coverage includes trellis-coded modulation, Reed-Solomon codes, synchronization, spread spectrum solutions, and much more. The book contains extensive coverage of fading channels: the causes of fading phenomena, their effects, and techniques for withstanding them. Professionals will find unique, practical coverage of turbo codes, the state-of-the-art error-correction technique for squeezing maximum performance out of digital connections. Finally, Sklar presents detailed techniques for implementing encryption, with coverage of the de facto industry standard, PGP. The accompanying CD-ROM contains a complete educational version of Elanix' SystemView DSP design software, as well as detailed notes for getting started, a comprehensive DSP tutorial, and over 50 additional communications exercises.MARKET:For practicing electrical engineers and students seeking a practical introduction to digital communications.
