Modern Digital and Analog Communication Systems: Third Edition

A complete and modern treatment of communication systems. Introduces fundamentals of probability-based transmission and reception, expanding coverage to digital communications, spread-spectrum systems, cellular networks, GPS, and emerging digital technologies (such as SONET, ISDN, BISDN, ATM, and video compression). The text is designed for electrical engineering students with lucid explanations, illustrative examples, and a pedagogical style that emphasizes understanding, not just proofs. This edition updates the material to include expanded coverage of digital communications and related topics, with a focus on practical insights and theoretical results presented accessibly.
