Features: This book provides an in-depth analysis of the fundamental theories and key aspects of communication systems, aiming to help students grasp the essence of communication through discussions. The book first outlines the basics of communication systems and the key technologies that need to be studied, then proceeds to discuss in detail chapters on random processes, continuous wave modulation, pulse modulation, baseband pulse transmission, signal space analysis, bandpass digital transmission, spread spectrum modulation, multi-user wireless communication, fundamentals of information theory, and error control coding. Each chapter is accompanied by a large number of exercises to facilitate student practice. The book also includes valuable appendices, such as probability theory, signal and system descriptions, Bessel functions, hypergeometric distribution functions, an introduction to cryptography, and useful charts. This book emphasizes the statistical foundation of communication theory and provides eight computer experiments simulated using MATLAB. These experiments cover almost all the main content of each chapter, forming a unique "software laboratory" for communication theory.
● MATLAB experiments demonstrating the main content of communication theory
● Extensions of emerging digital technologies, such as digital subscriber line (DSL), carrierless amplitude/phase modulation (CAP), and discrete multi-tone (DMT), etc.
● Dozens of examples that combine theory with practical communication systems
● Through careful organization, the book systematically guides students in learning knowledge from pulse modulation to bandpass data transmission, from random processes to error control coding. The book conveys profound concepts to students in an accessible language.
