The objective of this book is to provide an introduction to the basic principles in the analysis and design of communication systems. It is primarily intended for use as a text for a first course in communications, either at a senior level or at a first-year graduate level.
Our motivation for emphasizing digital communications is due to the technological developments that have occurred during the past five decades. Today, digital communication systems are in common use and generally carry the bulk of our daily information transmission through a variety of communications media, such as wireline telephone channels, microwave radio, fiber optic channels, and satellite channels. We are currently witnessing an explosive growth in the development ofpersonal communication systems and ultrahigh speed communication networks, which are based on digital transmission of the infonnation, whether it is voice, still images, or video. We anticipate that, in the near future, we will witness a replacement of the current analog AM and FM radio and television broadcast by digital transmission systems.
The development of sophisticated, high-speed digital communication systems has been accelerated by concurrent developments in inexpensive high speed integrated circuits (IC) and programmable digital signal processing chips. The developments in Microelectronic IC fabrication have made possible the implementation of high-speed, high precision AJD converters, of powerful error-correcting coders/decoders, and of complex digital modulation techniques. All of these technological developments point to a continuation in the trend toward increased use of digital communications as a means for transmittinginfonnation.
