Principles of Communications, 7th Edition

Keeping up to date with the most current technologies in the field is essential for all effective electrical and computer engineers. The updated 7^th edition of Principles of Communications presents the reader with more in-chapter examples, providing for a more supportive framework for learning. Readers are exposed to digital data transmission techniques earlier in the book, so they can appreciate the characteristics of digital communication systems prior to learning about probability and stochastic processes. They will also find expanded forward error correction code examples, and additional MATLAB problems.
