Features: This book systematically and comprehensively elaborates on the fundamental concepts, principles, and methods of modern communication systems. Building upon the discussion of basic theories of traditional communication technologies, it strives to reflect the latest developments in communication theory and technology. The book consists of eleven chapters, covering topics such as communication system models, communication signal analysis, analog modulation and demodulation techniques, digital modulation and demodulation techniques, analog-to-digital conversion techniques, channel error correction coding techniques, trellis modulation techniques, space-time coding, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) techniques, spread spectrum techniques, synchronization techniques, optimum reception theory, and introductions to typical communication systems and communication technology applications. The content is rich, concepts are clear, and the language is easy to understand, with a strong emphasis on linking theory with practice. Each chapter is accompanied by exercises. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in computer science, communication engineering, and related disciplines in higher education institutions, as well as a reference for a broad range of science and technology professionals working in these fields.
