Signal coding and signal processing are complex and critical elements of communications systems in broadcasting, satellite, and magnetic recording fields among others. Because both signal coding and processing are often found within a single electronic system (especially large communications systems), this book uniquely combines an introduction to both of these areas and provides an uncluttered theoretical treatment of optical coding and processing algorithms, together with design information for practical systems.

Signal coding and signal processing are complex and critical elements of communications systems in broadcasting, satellite, and magnetic recording fields among others. Because both signal coding and processing are often found within a single electronic system (especially large communications systems), this book uniquely combines an introduction to both of these areas and provides an uncluttered theoretical treatment of optical coding and processing algorithms, together with design information for practical systems. The author examines Pulse Code Modulation fundamentals, surveys modern data compression techniques, introduces block and convolutional error control codes, and discusses modern transmission coding techniques. Complete with problems and solutions, and containing over 230 diagrams, this textbook will be invaluable to third- and fourth-year undergraduates in electronic, electrical, or communication engineering. It will also act as a useful reference for anyone working in this technologically important field.
Graham Wade is a writer and musician living on the East Yorkshire coast. He studied English at Cambridge University, is a Fellow of Trinity College of Music, London, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 1982. He has published over thirty books among them his critically acclaimed biographical studies of the great Spanish composer. Joaquín Rodrigo, and of the guitarists, Andrés Segovia and Julian Bream, as well as works on musical history, and several slim volumes of poems. In 2002 he was awarded the Schotts Gold Medal for his contribution to Rodrigo studies and in 2010 won the David St John Thomas Prize for his first novel The Fibonacci Confessions. Graham Wade has written for many newspapers and periodicals including The Times, The Independent, and The Guardian and is an Advisory Editor and contributor to both the British and American New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. In 1999 he was appointed General Editor for a series of paperbacks for the leading American music publisher, Mel Bay Inc., of Missouri.
