[PDF] Introduction to Communication Systems By Upamanyu Madhow

Preface

Progress in telecommunications over the previous 20 years has been nothing in need of revolutionary, with communications taken without any consideration in trendy society to the identical extent as electrical energy. There may be due to this fact a persistent want for engineers who’re well-versed within the rules of communication programs. These rules apply to communication between factors in area, in addition to communication between cut-off dates (i.e, storage). Digital programs are quick changing analog programs in each domains. This e-book has been written in response to the next core query: what’s the fundamental materials that an undergraduate pupil with an curiosity in communications ought to study, so as to be nicely ready for both business or graduate faculty? For instance, plenty of establishments solely train digital communication, assuming that analog communication is useless or dying. Is that the precise method? From a purely pedagogical viewpoint, there are essential questions associated to mathematical preparation: how a lot arithmetic should a pupil study to develop into well-versed in system design, what must be assumed as background, and at what level ought to the arithmetic that’s not within the background be launched? Classically, college students study likelihood and random processes, after which deal with communication.

This doesn’t fairly work at the moment: college students more and more (and I consider, rightly) query the applicability of the fabric they study, and are much less thinking about abstraction for its personal sake. However, I’ve discovered from my very own instructing expertise that college students get really enthusiastic about summary ideas after they uncover their energy in purposes, and it’s doable to present the means for such discovery utilizing software program packages similar to Matlab. Thus, we’ve the chance to get a brand new era of scholars enthusiastic about this discipline: by overlaying abstractions “simply in time” to make clear engineering design, and by reinforcing ideas instantly utilizing software program experiments as well as to typical pen-and-paper downside fixing, we will take away the lag between studying and utility, and be certain that the ideas stick. This textbook represents my try to act upon the previous observations, and is an outgrowth of my lectures for a two-course undergraduate elective sequence on communication at UCSB, which is usually additionally taken by some starting graduate college students. Thus, it may be used as the idea for a two course sequence in communication programs, or a single course on digital communication, on the undergraduate or starting graduate stage. The e-book additionally gives a overview or introduction to communication programs for practitioners, easing the trail to examine of extra superior graduate texts and the analysis literature. The prerequisite is a course on alerts and programs, along with an introductory course on likelihood. The required materials on random processes is included within the textual content
