High Speed Communication - Systems Theory for Hard ware Designers

Written by a seasoned hardware designer with 17 years of hands-on design and test expertise in high-speed electronics, this book addresses communication and signal processing theory in the context of high-speed communications. It demonstrates how the systems theories are applied to wireline, fiber-optic and wireless communications, using the Dirac bra-ket notation and the vector space approach throughout. Covering in detail digital signal processing including sampling methods, digital filters and adaptive signal processing it also evaluates signal transmission and signal reception in digital communications. Includes a CD containing design spreadsheets, useful links and product datasheets.
