Fundamentals of Communication Systems, Global Edition

For one- or two-semester, senior-level undergraduate courses in Communication Systems for Electrical and Computer Engineering majors.

This text introduces the basic techniques used in modern communication systems and provides fundamental tools and methodologies used in the analysis and design of these systems. The authors emphasize digital communication systems, including new generations of wireless communication systems, satellite communications, and data transmission networks. A background in calculus, linear algebra, basic electronic circuits, linear system theory, and probability and random variables is assumed.
