Digital Modulation and Coding

For senior/first year graduate level courses in digital communication systems, digital modulation and coding, and advanced communications. Assumes prerequisite knowledge of probability, transform calculus, and linear system theory.

Written as an extended conversation with the reader, this textbook covers all important topics in digital transmission at the intuitive level of physical systems. The presentation attempts to bridge the gap between communication practice and theory, emphasizing the interplay between modulation and coding and their receiver counterparts.
