A fresh introduction to random processes utilizing signal theory By incorporating a signal theory basis, A Signal Theoretic Introduction to Random Processes presents a unique introduction to random processes with an emphasis on the important random phenomena encountered in the electronic and communications engineering field. The strong mathematical and signal theory basis provides clarity and precision in the statement of results. The book also features: * A coherent account of the mathematical fundamentals and signal theory that underpin the presented material * Unique, in-depth coverage of material not typically found in introductory books * Emphasis on modeling and notation that facilitates development of random process theory * Coverage of the prototypical random phenomena encountered in electrical engineering * Detailed proofs of results * A related website with solutions to the problems found at the end of each chapter A Signal Theoretic Introduction to Random Processes is a useful textbook for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level courses in applied mathematics as well as electrical and communications engineering departments. The book is also an excellent reference for research engineers and scientists who need to characterize random phenomena in their research.

Randomness in communication and low noise electronic design–a thorough and accessible account

Random fluctuations are inherent in all electronic circuits, and communication signals are nondeterministic from a receiver perspective. Accordingly, the optimization of electronic circuits and communication systems requires techniques for characterizing random signals. Foremost among these is the power spectral density.

Principles of Random Signal Analysis and Low Noise Design presents, from a thorough signal theory basis, a comprehensive and straightforward account of the power spectral density and its applications. The author:

• Details the power spectral density of the significant random signal forms
• Illustrates theory with examples from communications and electronic circuit design
• Presents a unified account for the power spectral density which encompasses periodic signals, aperiodic signals, and random processes, over finite and infinite intervals

Howard’s systematic approach, his systematic account of the power spectral density, his coverage of the significant random signal forms, and his account of low noise design make this an important reference for researchers, for students of electrical and electronic engineering, and for engineers involved in the design or modeling of communications systems or solid state circuitry.
