Digital Communication: Electrical And Electronics Engineering Series

Digital Communication is the study of transmission of information that is encoded digitally (as for storage and processing by computers). This book is an attempt to provide the students with a simplified, focussed, and comprehensive text on Digital Communication. The book is ideal for an undergraduate course on the topic. Salient Features : Provides a systems approach to Digital Communication right at the foundational level (block diagrammatic approach to the various systems-Linear, Non-Linear, Causal etc.); Lucidly written text. (Definition and presentation of Sampling theorem, Signal space representation of signal space concepts); Covers digital modulation based on signal-space concepts. This will facilitate the students to design the modern digital communication systems on their own; Every system is judged in terms of its bandwidth efficiency and power efficiency. All the necessary theory to derive these two crucial parameters of a communication system is derived from first principles; The depth and span of coverage (E.g., Depth of coverage of Sampling Theorem and Quantization), and the mathematical rigor makes it suitable for a one semester course on Digital Communication at the UG level.
