Fundamentals of Communication Systems: Theory, Video Lectures, MATLAB and Mathcad Simulations Revised Preface edition

"Fundamentals of Communication Systems" provides a solid foundation in both analog and digital communications. A comprehensive text in electrical engineering with chapters on Signals, Analog Communications, Digital Communications, Information Theory, Analog to Digital, Baseband Signalling, Bandpass Signalling, Block and Convolutional Codes, with an appendix on Probability Theory to help students without prior knowledge of probability theory. Every aspect of the communication theory is brought to life via MATLAB and Mathcad simulations, together with over 140 video lectures. Experience sitting next to the author as you explore the theory in this novel text that provides a unique self-learning environment. 740 pages in this book +140 video lectures +340 MATLAB simulations +340 Mathcad simulations +200 problems (Available step-by-step Solutions Manual). All the multimedia (video lectures and simulations) are delivered via the associated app "Communication Systems" in the iOS and Android app stores. Multimedia content is updated regularly. Together with the source code, PDFs of all the simulations with results are made available to help students easily follow the simulation code. Lecturers can also take part in this next generation text by contributing material (simulation code, theory, problems with solutions) to be included in the next version with acknowledgements. Janak Sodha received his Ph. D. from the University of Manchester, England (UK) and is a senior lecturer at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados. This book is based on his experience of lecturing on communication systems for over eighteen years.
