Description
Lathi's trademark user-friendly and highly readable text presents a complete and modern
treatment of communication systems. It begins by introducing students to the basics of communication systems without using probabilistic theory. Only after a solid knowledge base--an understanding of how communication systems work--has been built are concepts requiring probability theory covered. This third edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to include expanded coverage ofdigital communications. New topics discussed include spread-spectrum systems* cellular communication systems*
global positioning systems (GPS)* and an entire chapter on emerging digital technologies (such as SONET* ISDN* BISDN* ATM* and video compression
Ideal for the first communication systems course for electrical engineers* Modern Digital and Analog Communication Systems offers students a superb pedagogical style; it consistently does an excellent job of explaining difficult concepts clearly* using prose as well as mathematics. The author makes every effort to give intuitive insights--rather than just proofs--as well as heuristic explanations of theoretical results wherever possible. Featuring lucid explanations* well-chosen examples clarifying abstract mathematical results* and excellent illustrations* this unique text is highly informative and easily accessible to students.
