DESCRIPTION:
For a one/two-semester senior or first-year graduate level course in analog and digital communications. This text is also a suitable reference for electrical engineers for all basic relevant topics in digital communication system design. In addition, this text gives a solid introduction to analog communications and a review of important mathematical foundation topics.. With an emphasis on digital communications, Communication Systems Engineering, introduces the basic principles underlying the analysis and design of communication systems
Best book for Communication Giovanni Vecchio I strongly suggest this book for anybody willing to understand the basics of communication and beyond. Be prepared for some high level mathematics.Some of the proves are not worked out into the fine details. It assumes that you are smart enough to work it out the "minutia" of some proves.. Skips through important concepts too quickly I am using this book in 2 courses - Signals & Random Processes, and Digital Transmission. Although the material is very in-depth, unless you already know the material and just need a refresher, you will probably find out that it's very hard to follow what the authors say. If I was relying on this book alone, I wouldn't have understood a thing.They jump from one major topic to another on the same page without explaining the concepts in depth. There are very few examples to help you understand the concepts.If you have the choice, I would recommend against this book and would recommend John Wiley's Introduction to Anal. Benjamin Diller said Sparse, laden with typos/errors. Frankly, this book is really poor. The material presented is sparse and sometimes ambiguous, and if your professor teaches straight from the book without providing any examples/information of his or her own, you will likely struggle.Perhaps more importantly, there are *many* typos in the problems at the end of each chapter (which the professor has to continually correct - this isn't just my own interpretation). Scale is frequently wrong (Hz vs. kHz vs. Mhz, etc.), leading to nonsensical or unobtainable solutions, variables get mislabeled, and more. These errors make the book even more difficult to learn from, as the
New content changes for the second edition include:Coverage of the JPEG standard for image compressionCoverage of OFDM and multicarrier modulationCoverage of Turbo codes, product codes, the BCJR algorithm, and iterative codesA chapter on wireless communications (including new material on GSM and the IS-95 CDMA standard, as well as multiple antenna systems and space-time codes). From the Back CoverCommunication Systems Engineering, 2nd edition, offers comprehensive coverage of the basic principles in the analysis and design of modern communication systems, and review of important mathematical foundation topics. This new edition of Communication Systems Engineering exposes the reader to relevant topics from digital communication system principles including, source coding, channel coding, baseband and carrier modulation, channel di
