Analogue and Digital Communication Techniques

This book covers the principles behind analogue and digital communication systems. It takes a less mathematical approach than is often found and begins with basic principles such as information systems, data compression and error detection giving the reader a thorough grounding in the basics before moving on to more advanced topics such as pulse code modulation and digital microwave systems. Data protocols are also given to allow a good understanding of more complex communication systems. Analogue and Digital Communication Techniques has been designed for students studying HND electronic communication courses but will also be useful to junior undergraduates on similar courses. Some knowledge of basic electronics is assumed. The text: * is fully illustrated and contains worked examples and exercises * provides information in one book which is currently difficult to find in several texts * is written by an experienced lecturer in the subject areaSmillie, Grahame is the author of 'Analogue and Digital Communication Techniques' with ISBN 9780340731253 and ISBN 0340731257.
