Introduction to Communication Systems

Autor Upamanyu Madhow
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 noi 2014
Showcasing the essential principles behind modern communication systems, this accessible undergraduate textbook provides a solid introduction to the foundations of communication theory. Carefully selected topics introduce students to the most important and fundamental concepts, giving students a focused, in-depth understanding of core material, and preparing them for more advanced study. Abstract concepts are introduced to students 'just in time' and reinforced by nearly 200 end-of-chapter exercises, alongside numerous MATLAB code fragments, software problems and practical lab exercises, firmly linking the underlying theory to real-world problems, and providing additional hands-on experience. Finally, an accessible lecture-style organisation makes it easy for students to navigate to key passages, and quickly identify the most relevant material. Containing material suitable for a one- or two-semester course, and accompanied online by a password-protected solutions manual and supporting instructor resources, this is the perfect introductory textbook for undergraduate students studying electrical and computer engineering.

Recenzii

'Madhow does it again: Introduction to Communication Systems is an accessible yet rigorous new text that does for undergraduates what his [Fundamentals of] Digital Communication book did for graduate students. It provides a superior treatment of not only the fundamentals of analog and digital communication, but also the theoretical underpinnings needed to understand them, including frequency domain analysis and probability. The book is unusual in that it also includes newer topics of pressing current relevance like multiple antenna communication and OFDM. I strongly recommend this book for faculty teaching senior level courses on communication systems.' Jeffrey G. Andrews, University of Texas, Austin
'This is an excellent undergraduate text on analog and digital communications. It covers everything from classic analog techniques to recent wireless systems. Students will enjoy the inclusion of advanced topics such as channel coding and MIMO.' David Love, Purdue University, Indiana
'Introduction to Communication Systems by Madhow is truly unique in the vast landscape of introductory books on communication systems. From the basics of signal processing, probability, and communications, to the advanced topics of coding, multipath mitigation, and multiple antenna systems, the book deftly interweaves abstract theory, design principles, and applications in a highly effective and insightful manner. This masterfully written book will play a key role in teaching and inspiring the next generation of communication system engineers.' Andrea Goldsmith, Stanford University, California
'This is the textbook on communications I have wanted for a while. Crisply written, it forms the basis for an ideal two-semester sequence. It nicely balances rigor, concepts and practice.' Saoura Dasgupta, University of Iowa
'This is a unique introduction to the basic principles of communication system design, with a remarkable combination of rigour and accessibility. The MATLAB exercises are expertly weaved together with theoretical principles making it an excellent textbook for training undergraduate communication systems engineers.' Suhas Diggavi, University of California, Los Angeles
'This is a valuable addition to the current set of textbooks on communication systems. It is comprehensive, and offers a modern perspective shaped by the author's research that has pushed the state of the art. The software labs enhance the practicality of the text and serve to illustrate more advanced material in an accessible way.' Michael Honig, Northwestern University, Illinois
'… an interesting introduction to communication systems that offers the readers an overview of problems related to signals and systems. It covers theoretical analysis of communications systems together with more practical approaches … It gives an appropriate background for those who have a limited knowledge in this area … [The book] offer[s] to readers a good introduction to linearly modulated signals, and different signalling constellations used for baseband and passband channels …' Jozef Wozniak, Zentralblatt MATH
