Digital Communication: Modulation, Coding, and Information Theory by Kim Winick
Requirements: .PDF reader, 10.3 MB
Overview: Information can be delivered from remote locations nearly instantaneously to much of the world. Digital communication theory, together with major advancements in computer, electronics, and semiconductor technologies, has made this feat possible. In a technical sense, communication can be defined as the transfer of information between different points in space, that is, between source and destination, or in the case of storage, between different points in time, from time t 1 to time t 2. One distinguishing feature of this book is that a discussion of modulation is delayed until the second half of the book after data compression, error-correcting codes, and the concept of channel capacity for the discrete memoryless channel have been introduced. This approach allows the study of modulation to be seamlessly integrated with a performance analysis of communication systems. It also has the secondary advantage of delaying the use of more advanced probability theory and random processes, subjects students are often studying concurrently. Thus, this ordering allows the students to appreciate many other facets of communications before they need to use their deeper knowledge of probability and random processes. The prerequisites needed to master the material in this textbook, other than some mathematical maturity, are calculus, basic linear algebra, and probability, including a knowledge of random variables. The book could be used by advanced undergraduate or graduate students taking their first digital communication course. No explicit knowledge of random processes is assumed.
