The clear, easy-to-understand introduction to digital
communications Completely updated coverage of today's most critical
technologies Step-by-step implementation coverage Trellis-coded
modulation, fading channels, Reed-Solomon codes, encryption, and
more Exclusive coverage of maximizing performance with advanced
"turbo codes" "This is a remarkably comprehensive treatment of the
field, covering in considerable detail modulation, coding (both
source and channel), encryption, multiple access and spread
spectrum. It can serve both as an excellent introduction for the
graduate student with some background in probability theory or as a
valuable reference for the practicing ommunication system engineer.
For both communities, the treatment is clear and well presented." -
Andrew Viterbi, The Viterbi Group Master every key digital
communications technology, concept, and technique. Digital
Communications, Second Edition is a thoroughly revised and updated
edition of the field's classic, best-selling introduction. With
remarkable clarity, Dr. Bernard Sklar introduces every digital
communication technology at the heart of today's wireless and
Internet revolutions, providing a unified structure and context for
understanding them -- all without sacrificing mathematical
precision. Sklar begins by introducing the fundamentals of signals,
spectra, formatting, and baseband transmission. Next, he presents
practical coverage of virtually every contemporary modulation,
coding, and signal processing technique, with numeric examples and
step-by-step implementation guidance. Coverage includes: Signals
and processing steps: from information source through transmitter,
channel, receiver, and information sink Key tradeoffs:
signal-to-noise ratios, probability of error, and bandwidth
expenditure Trellis-coded modulation and Reed-Solomon codes: what's
behind the math Synchronization and spread spectrum solutions
Fading channels: causes, effects, and techniques for withstanding
fading The first complete how-to guide to turbo codes: squeezing
maximum performance out of digital connections Implementing
encryption with PGP, the de facto industry standard Whether you're
building wireless systems, xDSL, fiber or coax-based services,
satellite networks, or Internet infrastructure, Sklar presents the
theory and the practical implementation details you need. With
nearly 500 illustrations and 300 problems and exercises, there's
never been a faster way to master advanced digital communications.
CD-ROM INCLUDED The CD-ROM contains a complete educational version
of Elanix' SystemView DSP design software, as well as detailed
notes for getting started, a comprehensive DSP tutorial, and over
50 additional communications exercises.
