Principles of Communications

This is a complete overview of the field, from signal systems and noiseless modulation theory to detection, estimation and information theory. In this edition, each chapter reflects the latest technical and theoretical developments. Numerous worked-out examples support the text. The authors make the material more easily understandable by treating digital data transmission in two separate chapters and by reducing coverage of linear systems. The text discusses analog and digital communications systems and includes discussion of Mary and spread spectrum systems.
