INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Showcasing the essential principles behind modern communication systems, this accessible undergraduate textbook provides a solid introduction to the foundations of communication theory. Carefully selected topics introduce students to the most important and fundamental concepts, giving students a focused, in-depth understanding of core material and preparing them for more advanced study. Abstract concepts are introduced to students 'just in time' and reinforced by nearly 200 end-of-chapter exercises, alongside numerous MATLAB code fragments, software problems and practical lab exercises, firmly linking the underlying theory to real-world problems and providing additional hands-on experience. Finally, an accessible lecture-style organization makes it easy for students to navigate to key passages and quickly identify the most relevant material.
