Analog Communication

Analog Communication provides an exhaustive coverage of the fundamental concepts and recent developments in communication theory. The book follows a bottom-up approach by building up the basic concepts of conventional modulation systems in the initial chapters and describing the latest trends in communication towards the end. After introducing the concepts of communication theory, it discusses amplitude modulation, angle modulation, and pulse modulation. It further covers the concept of time division multiplexing (TDM), frequency division multiplexing (FDM), and delta and adaptive delta modulation. The book also provides a chapter on digital communication, which briefly covers the concept of frequency shift keying (FSK), pulse shift keying (PSK), and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). A separate chapter on noise highlights the different types of noise encountered in communication systems and their effects on various types of modulation. Written in a lucid manner, the book includes a large number of circuit diagrams, worked-out examples, and MATLAB examples, enabling users to have a sound grasp of the concepts presented and their applications.

The book includes additional MATLAB exercises as an appendix, as well as a supplemental set of MATLAB code files, which are available for download.
