Features: This book comprehensively and systematically discusses the basic theories, key technologies, main applications, and the latest developments in communication networks of digital communication. The content is both in-depth and accessible, with clear explanations of concepts, rigorous theoretical analysis, and strong logical coherence. It serves not only as a textbook for senior undergraduate students or early-stage graduate students in electronic, information, communication, and computer-related fields at universities but also as a relatively comprehensive, systematic, and in-depth monograph on digital communication, offering significant reference value for researchers and technical personnel in the field of communications. The book is based on a systematic perspective, introducing the working principles and performance of modern digital communication systems. The main content includes an overview of signals, noise, and system properties, as well as relevant mathematical models, ensuring the adoption of analog-to-digital conversion, coding, and modulation techniques required for good performance in most digital communication systems. It also covers the physical characteristics of noise and the prediction of Carrier-to-Noise Ratio (CNR) at the end of single or multi-stage transmission links, as well as computer simulation of communication systems. Additionally, it discusses modern digital telephony, terrestrial and satellite microwave systems, cellular mobile wireless systems, video coding systems, and switching technologies and telecommunication networks. This book is suitable as a textbook for communication and related disciplines at universities and can also be referenced by communication engineering technical personnel.
