COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN (W/CD)

Using three parallel approaches—rigorous mathematical,graphical, and intuitive—this text offers students apractical and deep understanding of communicationsystems. Emphasis on the theme of cost vs. performancetradeoffs throughout the book provides a framework andmotivation for all the topics examined in it.Fundamentals of frequency domain analysis arereinforced through graphical techniques andcommunications-oriented examples.
