This comprehensive and user-friendly text is meticulously crafted for a single-semester course, seamlessly blending theory with practical application to provide a thorough understanding of modern communications systems. By presenting key concepts as a series of interconnected functions for both transmitters and receivers, the text covers a wide range of topics, including amplification, up- and down-conversion, modulation, dispersive channel compensation, error-correcting codes, acquisition, multiple-antenna and multiple-input multiple-output antenna techniques, as well as higher-level communications functions. Additionally, analog modulations are explored, accompanied by the necessary mathematics, statistics, and Fourier theory required to grasp the intricacies of the subject matter. To enhance the learning experience, the text is accompanied by an extensive array of online resources, including PowerPoint slides, a solutions manual, and additional MATLAB-based simulation problems. These supplementary materials provide valuable support and facilitate a deeper grasp of the concepts covered, making it an ideal choice for students embarking on their first course in communications, particularly at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels.
