Digital Communications: Design for the Real World
INNOVATIVE . . . EXCITING . . . PRACTICALDIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS Design for the Real World Andy Bateman. . . a modern approach to exploring the principles and application of data transmissionDigital Communications: Design for the Real World introduces readers to the fundamentals of digital communications through an applications-driven approach. Devised specifically to serve as a first stage text for undergraduate students, this textbook + CD package brings this exciting subject vividly to life, relating theory to real-world products and emphasizing the design choices facing professional communications engineers. Students encountering communications topics for the first time, practising engineers and managers will all appreciate the stimulating and motivational treatment of the subject.Andy Bateman¿s innovative solution to the teaching and study of digital communications presents the reader with 3 routes to success . . .1 USING THE BOOK The content focuses on digital transmission and modem design, identifying performance trade-offs, design choices and practical issues in2 USING THE CD-ROM The enclosed CD-ROM contains the same content as the book in browsable electronic form, suitable for Mac,©CD iconimplementation over real-world channels. It covers the very basics for true beginners, as well as modern developments such as channel coding and CDMA.THE BOOK FEATURES:· an applications-driven approach highlighting the key design issues· a review of basic topics such as Fourier series and relevant trigonometrical relationships· in-depth sections providing analytical detail· modern, real-world examples throughout· end-of-chapter questions, useful for self-assessmentWindows (3.1 and above) and UNIX systems. This fully-indexed electronic version provides users with quick and easy access to the information and enhanced features.THE CD FEATURES:· fully functional copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4TM· animated figures to aid understanding· linked cross-references for ease of exploration· hyperlinks to further information on the Web· Matlab® code, ready to run simulations· answers to problems from the printed text3 USING THE BOOK + CD-ROM IN PARALLEL The two components of the package are completely interchangeable, providing the most flexible solution to the study, teaching and implementation of digital communications: students can easily access material for study and revision purposes; lecturers can utilise this valuable combined package in their teaching; and professional engineers can readily home in on the design parameters that are pertinent to their particular application.Andy Bateman is currently a Director of Wireless Systems International Ltd (wsil.com).
