Wiley-IEEE Press Digital Transmission Engineering: 12 (IEEE Series on Digital & Mobile Communication)

This introduction to digital data transmission, modulation, and error-correction coding, together with the underlying communication and information theory is an all-inclusive text suitable for all those connected with Mechanical Engineering or Computer Science. Equal emphasis is given to underlying mathematical theory and engineering practice. Not meant to be an encyclopedic treatise, the book offers strong, accessible pedagogy. This Second Edition presents enhanced explanations of key ideas as well as additional examples and problems. It also provides greatly expanded coverage of wireless communication, which has seen exponential growth since the release of the first edition.A pedagogocal approach aimed at the 5th year EE studentA balance of theory with engineering and designIntegration of important topics such as synchronization, radio channels, and wireless communication, which are left out of competing books, or lost in more lengthy formats. Review "…the author really presents this area from his position of expertise as a lecturer…focuses on core topics, and on an effective combination of theory and practice." (Computing Reviews.com, January 13, 2006) From the Inside Flap Introduces the entire physical layer of digital communications in a measured and instructional format Digital Transmission Engineering, Second Edition will provide first-year graduate students and engineers with the knowledge and the ability to perform real system design in the field of digital and mobile communications.Based on proven teaching techniques, this text introduces the entire physical layer of digital communications in a measured and instructional format that integrates useful mathematics with implementation examples.
