Modern Digital and Analog Communication Systems, XE Fifth Edition (MDAC 5eXE), is the latest edition of the landmark communications systems textbook by one of electrical engineering's most prolific educators, B.P. Lathi, and co-author Zhi Ding. The Fifth Edition features over 200 fully worked-through examples incorporating current technology, an expansive amount of illustrations throughout the book, MATLAB codes throughout, and a full review of key signals and systems concepts. As digital communication technology has become important part of daily life, enrollment in courses on communications engineering has increased. Communications systems courses are now one of the most popular upper-level EE offerings because of intense student interest in the topic. In the new edition, Drs. Lathi and Ding have updated the book's examples to reflect current technology and including more MATLAB coding where appropriate.

Modern Digital and Analog Communication Systems is ideal for the first communication systems course for electrical and computer engineers; it offers its readers a consistently superb pedagogical style and explains complex subjects and concepts clearly, using both mathematics and heuristics. This new edition seamlessly incorporates many new technological advances in Lathi's trademark style of user-friendliness and high readability. The text begins by introducing students to a panoramic view of communication systems, explaining important concepts of communication theory in a heuristic way. Only after a solid introduction to basic communication systems is analysis of communication systems requiring probability and random processes presented. The authors use real world examples to capture the students' attention and enable them to easily relate the course materials with their daily experience of communication tools. The text features easy-to-understand examples and MatLab exercises to clarify mathematical results and proofs. Among the newly introduced topics are spread spectrum communications and orthogonal frequency devision multiplexing (OFDM), error connection coding, soft-decoding, turbo codes and low density parity check (LDPC) codes. To better motivate various topics, the text provides many related applications including the latest wire-line (DSL) services, cellular systems, and the wireless local area networks (LANs). This unique text is highly informative, interactive, and accessible to beginning students as well as seasoned practitioners.

This book introduces the synergy theory model to analyze the calculation results of the soil deformation and the lateral displacement law caused by the longitudinal shield tunneling based on in-depth scientific research and engineering practice on deformation of structures caused by shield tunneling. The influence of shield tunneling on different adjacent foundation buildings was studied, and the deformation law and internal force distribution law of the structures were obtained. It aims to help practitioners in understanding the mechanism, predictive analysis method, and corresponding control technology of the influence of surrounding structures’ deformation caused by shield tunneling.
