Features: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles involved in the analysis and design of modern communication systems, as well as a review of many important mathematical foundations. It can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate students or early graduate students in communication engineering, or as a comprehensive reference for engineering and technical professionals. This is the new edition of Communication Systems Engineering, introducing readers to topics related to digital communication system principles, including source coding, channel coding, baseband and carrier modulation, channel distortion, channel equalization, synchronization processing, and wireless communication. It also discusses analog modulation and demodulation methods, including phase modulation, amplitude modulation, and frequency modulation. Tracing the development of communication systems, this book systematically and deeply introduces the fundamental principles and applications of communication technology, with a focus on digital communication principles but also richly covers analog communication and discusses the relevant mathematical foundations. The book is rich in content, broad in scope, clear in concepts, and well-illustrated with examples, featuring up-to-date material that thoroughly explains the basic principles of communication systems while reflecting recent technologies and theories. It also briefly reviews the history of communication system development. The book includes numerous examples and references at the end of each chapter, along with a wealth of thought-provoking exercises. It is suitable as a textbook for senior undergraduate or early graduate students in communication, information, and electronic engineering, as well as a reference for related technical, research, and management professionals.
