Synopsis

An up-to-date and comprehensive text on the rapidly expanding field of fixed and mobile communications, including data networks and packet switched systems. The aim of the book is fourfold: (1) to develop the mathematical theory behind signal processing as used in modern digital communications systems, (2) to extend these theoretical signalling concepts into information links which are robust in the presence of noise and other impairment mechanisms, (3) to investigate how these transmission links can be developed into fixed and mobile data communications systems for voice and video transmission, and (4) to develop queuing theory techniques and explore their development in small and large scale data transmission networks such as ISDN. The material is set in an appropriate historical context, and a substantial number of numerical and practical examples are included in the text.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Digital techniques are central to almost all modern telecommunications systems.  The third edition of Digital Communications has retained both its comprehensive coverage and its balance between theory, applications and systems implementation.  Its main aim is to develop the mathematical theory of signal processing and use this theory to describe modern digital communications. 

Key features

• Presents a comprehensive quantitative treatment of digital communications principles including information theory, PCM, source coding, encryption, channel coding, multiplexing, modulation and optimum filtering
• Includes a thorough treatment of system noise and communication link budgets
• Introduces the principles of system simulation
• Describes a range of modern systems, including satellite communications, cellular radio and networks (wireless MANs, LANs and PANs)
• Provides a revised and extended treatment of networks that includes OFDM, circuit and packet switching, ATM and B-ISDN,  MIMO, xDSL, FTTx, FDDI, DQDB, BFWA (including IEE 802.16),  Bluetooth and UWB
• Extensive examples and end-of-chapter problems
• Updated references, web addresses, standards and bibliography
• Outline solutions to problems available for instructors on the WWW

This text is suitable for undergraduates and first year postgraduate students.  It also provides an excellent overview for professional engineers.
