For those seeking a thorough grounding in modern communication engineering principles delivered with unrivaled clarity using an engineering-first approach
Communication Engineering Principles: 2nd Edition provides readers with comprehensive background information and instruction in the rapidly expanding and growing field of communication engineering.
This book is well-suited as a textbook in any of the following courses of study: _ Telecommunication _ Mobile Communication _ Satellite Communication _ Optical Communication _ Electronics _ Computer Systems
Primarily designed as a textbook for undergraduate programs, Communication Engineering Principles: 2nd Edition can also be highly valuable in a variety of MSc programs.
Communication Engineering Principles grounds its readers in the core concepts and theory required for an in-depth understanding of the subject. It also covers many of the modern, practical techniques used in the field.
Along with an overview of communication systems, the book covers topics like time and frequency domains analysis of signals and systems, transmission media, noise in communication systems, analogue and digital modulation, pulse shaping and detection, and many others.
