 For courses in Digital Communications.

Exceptionally accessible, this book presents the often “difficult” concepts of digital communications in an easy-to- understand manner—without diluting the mathematical precision. Using a student-friendly approach, it develops the important techniques in the context of a unified structure (in block diagram form)—providing organization and structure to a field that has, and continues, to grow rapidly, and ensuring that students gain an awareness of the “big picture” even while delving into the details (the most up-to-date modulation, coding, and signal processing techniques that have become the basic tools of our modern era). It traces signals and key processing steps from the information source through the transmitter, channel, receiver, and ultimately to the information sink.

Product description

From the Back Cover

  • Expanded coverage of error-correction coding―Particularly in the areas of Reed-Solomon codes, turbo codes, and trellis-coded modulation.
  • Chapter on fading channels―And how to mitigate their degrading effects. Methodically organizes the nomenclature of fading channels, the fading phenomena, and their effects, making them easier to grasp.

    • Prepares students for disciplines such as mobile communications, which require a basic understanding of how such channels suffer the effects of fading, and how to withstand these degrading effects.

  • Expanded explanations and descriptions of essential digital communication concepts.
  • Expanded chapter-end problem sets―Adds question sets (and where to find the answers), as well as CD exercises.
  • Accompanying CD―Contains the educational version of SystemView software by ELANIX®; over 200 additional communications problems (in addition to the ones at the end of each chapter) which can be solved by using the software; and an extensive tutorial on digital signal processing.

    • Allows students to explore the textbook concepts by viewing waveforms, and changing system parameters in the software to see the effects on the overall system.

Sklar's books is a highly regarded text book in the field, & it is not without a reason.
Book is clear & nice. The text is clear, although not mathematically rigourous but good for developing skills in this field..
Would rate it above book by Proakis & Salehi.
