Readers of this upper-level book will find comprehensive coverage of digital communication systems and an assortment of signal processing techniques that have arisen over the past two decades.
Bernard Sklar's treatment of this rapidly growing field not only provides the reader with organization and structure but also ensures awareness of the "big picture" even while delving into the details. Thorughout the book, emphasis is placed on digital communications and aslo on those analog fundamentals that are important to the development of digital theory.
