Features: This book follows the spirit of the Ministry of Education's guidelines on higher vocational and technical education, which advocates reducing the depth of theoretical education, strengthening practical hands-on training, and cultivating a new generation of comprehensive application-oriented talents. It is also based on the latest teaching syllabus for the core professional course "Modern Communication Principles" in the electronic and communication major of higher vocational and technical education issued by the Ministry of Education. This textbook is compiled according to the teaching syllabus for the communication major in higher vocational and technical colleges. The book consists of eight chapters, primarily introducing the basic concepts and terminology of communication; linear AM, DSB, SSB, and VSB modulation systems and nonlinear FM and PM systems in analog modulation systems; pulse code modulation (PCM) systems; digital baseband modulation systems; digital bandpass modulation systems such as ASK, FSK, and PSK; the concept and measurement of information, as well as the principles and theories of source coding and channel coding; optimum reception principles; and the concepts and implementation principles of carrier synchronization, bit synchronization, and group synchronization in communication. Each chapter includes a summary, followed by review questions and exercises, with practical training content provided in some chapters. The book deliberately minimizes dry theoretical analysis, focusing instead on explaining principles in the context of practical communication systems, supplemented by numerous illustrations for easy understanding. It serves as an excellent textbook for higher vocational and technical majors in communication, electronics, and networking, as well as a reference for related engineering and technical personnel.
