NNOVATIVE...EXCITING...PRACTICAL!Digital Communications: Design for the Real World introduces readers to the fundamentals of digital communications through an applications-driven approach.Devised specifically to serve as a first stage text for undergraduate students, this textbook + CD package relates theory to real-world products and emphasizes the design choices facing professional communications engineers, thereby bringing this exciting subject vividly to life. Students encountering communications topics for the first time, practising engineers and managers will all appreciate the stimulating and motivational treatment of the subject.Andy Bateman's innovative solution to the teaching and study of digital communications presents the reader with 3 routes to success...1: USING THE BOOKThe text focuses on digital transmission and modem design, identifying performance trade-offs, design choices and practical issues in implementation over real-world channels. It covers the very basics for true beginners, as well as modern developments such as channel coding and CDMA. By emphasizing the design choices facing communications engineers, the book will also be suitable for practising engineers and managers allowing them to home in on the design parameters that are pertinent to their particular application and specification.FEATURES: * applications-driven approach highlights the key design issues * basic topics such as Fourier series and relevant trigonometrical relationships are reviewed in the opening chapter * in depth sections provide analytical backup to the design-oriented text * modern, real-world examples are used throughout to enhance understanding *end-of-chapter questions can be used for self-assessment2: USING THE CD-ROMThe book comes complete with a CD-ROM which contains the same content of the book in browsable electronic form, suitable for Mac and Windows syst
