Introducing the fundamentals of digital communication with a robust bottom-up approach, this textbook is designed to equip senior undergraduate and graduate students in communications engineering with the core skills they need to assess, compare, and design state-of-the-art digital communication systems. Delivering a fast, concise grounding in key algorithms, concepts, and mathematical principles, this textbook provides all the mathematical tools for understanding state-of-the-art digital communications. The authors prioritise readability and accessibility, to quickly get students up to speed on key topics in digital communication, and includes all relevant derivations. Presenting over 70 carefully designed multi-part end-of-chapter problems with over 360 individual questions, this textbook gauges student understanding and translates knowledge to real-world problem solving. Accompanied online by interactive visualizations of signals, downloadable Matlab code, and solutions for instructors.

  • Suitable for a one- or two-semester sequence in digital communications
  • Detailed coverage of core mathematical principles, algorithms, and concepts, without coverage of specific implementations
  • A reliable resource, based on three decades' worth of research and teaching

Reviews & endorsements

'Delve into the intricacies of digital communications with this comprehensive guide which caters to all levels. Offering a solid foundation, it meticulously covers essential aspects, ensuring readers have access to all the necessary background information. With a plethora of exercises and illustrative examples, it stands as an exceptional resource on digital communications.' Alexander Lampe, Hochschule Mittweida

'Accurate, concise, and very readable, this is a real gem for students and instructors alike.
