Communication Systems: Introduction to Signals and Noise in Electrical Communication (Electrical & Electronic Engineering) Book

In view of the myriad types of communication systems, a book like this, devoted to the subject of electrical communication, cannot possibly cover every application. Instead, this book approaches the subject from a more general viewpoint. Recognizing that all communication systems have the same basic function, namely, information transmission, we shall seek out and isolate the principles and problems of transmitting information in electrical form. These will be examined in detail so as to provide the fundamental analysis and design techniques applicable to any type of electrical communication.
