Digital Communication: Theory, Techniques, and Applications is designed for undergraduate students of engineering for a course on digital communication. The second edition of this book treats spread spectrum communication techniques as an exclusive chapter. The book starts from the basics of signals and systems and builds the preliminary concepts through the chapters on probability and random processes, and information theory. It then goes on to describe core concepts such as digital coding, multiplexing and multiple access, modulation techniques, demodulation, error control coding, and spread spectrum communication. The last chapter illustrates the concepts learnt in the earlier chapters through applications in optical, satellite, and wireless communication domains. Salient Features Discusses latest compression standards, such as DAB, MPEG, H.264, and MP3 Provides around 140 graded solved problems, review questions, and challenging exercises for practice Includes a detailed laboratory manual (Appendix D) with procedure, observation table, questions, and MATLAB codes to help in simulating many theoretical functions New to the Second Edition Treats spread spectrum communication as an exclusive chapter Includes new sections on pulse width modulation (PWM), pulse position modulation (PPM), burst synchronization, voice codecs, and combo chips Provides new solved problems, review questions, and exercises Includes hints (final answers) to all relevant exercise problems (Appendix G) Online Resources The following resources are available to support the faculty using this text: Solutions Manual PowerPoint Slides About the Author R.N.
