Trellis and Turbo Coding

* Trellis and turbo coding are used to compress and clean communications signals to allow greater bandwidth and clarity * Presents the basics, theory, and applications of these techniques with a focus on potential standard state-of-the art methods in the future * Provides a classic basis for anyone who works in the area of digital communications A Wiley-IEEE Press Publication This book discusses the state-of-the-art in error control coding and its decoding algorithms with a strong focus on iterative methods and their standardization. Trellis and Turbo Coding: Iterative and Graph-Based Error Control Coding examines error control coding from a present day perspective, focusing on the recent developments of turbo coding systems and their algorithmic foundations. The main aspect of the book is error control, which is the discipline that concerns itself with avoiding and correcting errors that can occur during transmissions, processing, or storage of digital data. Historical results are discussed and introduced along the way to present a complete picture of modern error control coding. Many application examples and industry standards are included to illustrate the use of error control coding, in particular the graph-based systems, which dominate error protection in modern communications devices. This edition includes: . Trellis, turbo, and low-density parity-check (LDPC) coding and polar codes in a unified framework. Advanced research-related developments such as spatial coupling. A focus on algorithmic and implementation aspects of error control coding The authors offer readers a comprehensive and tutorial review about trellis and turbo coding with applications to modern communications.

The Keep It Simple (KISS) philosophy is the primary focus of this book. It is written in very simple language with minimal math, as a compilation of helpful EMI troubleshooting hints. Its light-hearted tone is at odds with the extreme seriousness of most engineering reference works that become boring after a few pages. This text tells engineers what to do and how to do it. Only a basic knowledge of math, electronics, and a basic understanding of EMI/EMC are necessary to understand the concepts and circuits described.

Once EMC troubleshooting is demystified, readers learn there are quick and simple techniques to solve complicated problems a key aspect of this book. Simple and inexpensive methods to resolve EMI issues are discussed to help generate unique ideas and methods for developing additional diagnostic tools and measurement procedures. An appendix on how to build probes is included. It can be a fun activity, even humorous at times with bizarre techniques (i.e., the sticky finger probe).
