Anderson J.B. Digital transmission engineering

2 edition, IEEE Press + Wiley, 2005, 446 pages, ISBN-13 978-0-471-69464-9, ISBN-10 0-471-69464-9This book is about the transmission of digital data through time and space, as it is practiced in the sophisticated systems of today. Since the ideas behind today’s designs can be subtle, theory and concepts play a major role, but engineering practices and judgments are an essential part of the story as well and need equal prominence. This book seeks to combine a clear conceptual grounding with an engineering attitude.
The material in Chapters 1–5 is the basis of the first-year graduate introduction to digital communication taught for some years by the author. It covers pulse and carrier modulation in detail, interference and distortion, synchronization up to the network level, and the engineering details of channels, antennas, and propagation. Additional sections on error control coding, mobile channels, and some advanced techniques make up Chapters 6 and 7 and Section
5.4. These have been included for those who have the need and the space for them.Introduction to Digital Transmission
