Modulation And Coding For Wireless Communications

Modulation and Coding for Wireless Communications

A new advanced communciations book on Modulation & Coding for Radio Communications. Ideal for advanced undergrad courses, taught masters and professionals.From the Back CoverModulation and Coding for Wireless Communications is an authoriative, modern text on two interrelated and increasingly important topics within communications engineering. This text will provide a useful reference to modulation and coding as well as a review of current practice. Accessibly written, this will be a suitable textbook for students on advanced communications as well as for those involved in the wireless communications industry.The text uses visual, graphical approaches wherever possible in order to help the reader understand abstract concepts in a familiar setting. Equally helpful to the student is the inclusion of examples from real radio systems, which help to apply and demonstrate theoretical principles. This modern text includes all the latest techniques, such as OFDM and turbo-codes, as well as looking forward to future developments.FEATURES: Provides an integrated approach to modulation and coding Employs a visual 'geometric' approach Places an emphasis on wireless communications Fully up to date, referenecing current standards and techniques Includes worked examples based around real systemsAbout the AuthorAlister Burr is a Reader in Electronics at the University of York, UK.
