'Featuring a variety of applications that motivate students, this book serves as a companion or supplement to any of the comprehensive textbooks on communication systems. The book provides a variety of exercises that may be solved on the computer using MATLAB. By design, the treatment of the various topics is brief. The authors provide the motivation and a short introduction to each topic, establish the necessary notation, and then illustrate the basic concepts by means of an example.
- Promotes problem-solving and critical-thinking skills through the use of MATLAB as a "virtual laboratory" and challenges readers to understand and apply these techniques on their own.
- Presents a basic background of signals and systems.
- Covers the performances of analog modulation and demodulation techniques in the presence and absence of additive noise.
- Companion website includes all the MATLAB and Simulink files used in the text with numerous comments added to most files to make them easier to understand.
- New chapter: Multicarrier Modulation and OFDM.
- New chapter: Multiple Antenna Systems.
- New chapter: Digital Transmission Through Wireless Channels.
- New examples with additional practical real-life engineering problems now included.
- New sections on DPCM, ADPCM, and DM; turbo codes and decoding; LDPC codes and decoding.
- Compliant with the latest version of MATLAB.
- Augmented coverage of Random Processes.
- Revised and updated Simulink supplement with tutorial problems available online.
