Digital Communication Systems

About the book: digital communication systems offers the most complete, up-to-date coverage available on the principles of digital communications. Focuses on basic issues, relating theory to practice wherever possible. Numerous examples, worked out in detail, have been included to help the reader develop an intuitive grasp of the theory. Topics covered include the sampling process, digital modulation techniques, error-control coding, robust quantization for pulse-code modulation, coding speech at low bit radio, information theoretic concepts, coding and computer communication. Because the book covers a broad range of topics in digital communications, it should satisfy a variety of backgrounds and interests. Content fourier analysis of signals and systems probability theory and bayesian inference stochastic processes information theory conversion of analog waveforms into coded pulses signaling over awgn channels signaling over band-limited channels signaling over fading channels error-control coding about the author: simon haykin simon haykin is a university professor at mcmaster university, hamilton, ontario, canada.
