Digital communications

I own this book and I used it to learn the fundamentals of Digital communications. This is a very solid and comprehensive book, but requires very strong math background. I don't think it can be used as a self-study resource. It must be part of an instructor-led graduate course. This book is probably the best book for communication theory. But it is not easy to use for engineers in the field. Aus dem Inhalt: I) Probability and stochastic processes II) Source coding III) Characterization of communication signals and systems IV) Optimum receivers for the additive white gaussian noise channel V) Carrier and symbol synchronization VI) Channel capacity and coding VII) Block and convolutional channel codes VIII) Signal design for band-limited channels IX) Communication through band-limited linear filter channels X) Adaptive equalization XI) Multichannel and multicarrier systems XII) Spread spectrum signals for data communications XIII) Digital communication through fading multipath channels XIV) Multiuser communications. appendices: the levinson-durbin algorithm XV) Error probability for multichannel binary signals XVI) Error probabilities for adaptive reception of m-phase signals XVII) Square-root factorization Digital Communications is a classic book in the area that is designed to be used as a senior or graduate level text. The text is flexible and can easily be used in a one semester course or there is enough depth to cover two semesters. Its comprehensive nature makes it a great book for students to keep refer to in their professional careers.This best-selling book in Digital Communications by John G. Proakis has been revised to reflect the current trends in the field. Some of the topics that have been added include Turbocodes, Antenna Arrays, Iterative Detection, and Digital Cellular Systems. Also new to this edition are electronic figures for presentation materials found on the website.
