Features: This book is independently written by Professor Fan Changxin after collecting and mastering a large amount of feedback information from the use of the "Principles of Communication" (Fan Changxin, 1st to 5th Editions, National Defense Industry Press) textbooks, combined with the author's many years of teaching and research experience. Based on the summary, the design of the system and content is more reasonable and closer to the actual needs of universities for communication principles textbooks. The book briefly introduces the principles of analog communication and focuses on digital communication principles, explaining the composition, performance indicators, working principles, performance analysis, and design methods of communication systems. It gives full attention to the communication systems and technologies that have emerged in recent years. The main features are reflected in the following aspects:
1. The book has added content on deterministic signal analysis, making it convenient for some majors without a prerequisite course in signals and systems.
2. The analog communication section has been significantly compressed, while the digital communication section has been enhanced.
3. In the chapters discussing digital communication technologies, more emphasis is given to some newer communication technologies, such as Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM) and spread spectrum techniques. Additionally, content on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), multiple access technologies, and TURBO codes has been added.
4. The narrative has been strengthened by incorporating examples of rapidly developing areas such as satellite communication and computer communication.
5. Most of the content in the chapter on communication networks has been updated.
6. Due to the increasing importance of communication security, a chapter on communication security has been added.
7. To better accommodate the needs of different schools and working readers, the book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the basic content, which is essential for beginners. The second part contains optional content, with each chapter being relatively independent. Readers can select specific chapters based on different teaching requirements, and it is also suitable for communication engineering technicians as a reference. This arrangement is more suitable for use by different schools and various types of readers.
8. To meet the needs of different teaching plans and schedules, some more complex calculations and mathematical proofs are printed in different fonts and sizes. Readers can skip these sections as needed without affecting their understanding of subsequent chapters. This is another feature of the book.
9. Each chapter ends with review questions and exercises. The review questions help readers review the chapter content and can serve as a self-summary of the chapter. The exercises encourage readers to deeply understand the chapter content, connect theory with practice, and improve their ability to solve practical problems. The book briefly introduces the principles of analog communication and focuses on digital communication principles, explaining the composition, performance indicators, working principles, performance analysis, and design methods of communication systems. It gives full attention to the communication systems and technologies that have emerged in recent years. This book is suitable for undergraduate students (3rd to 4th grade) and first-year graduate students in electronic engineering majors of general universities, as well as for engineering technicians working in communication-related fields as a reference book or textbook for self-study courses.
