Digital communications play an important role in numerical transmission systems due to the proliferation of radio beams, satellites, optic fibers, radar, and mobile wireless systems. This book provides the fundamentals and basic design techniques of digital communications. It has grown out of the authors’ own teaching and as such has a unity of methodology and style, essential for making it easy to read.

Intended for communications engineers and advanced graduates, each of the 13 chapters provides a complete analysis of the structures used for emission or reception technology. This will provide the students with a set of approaches that they can use for current and future digital circuit designs.

The authors emphasize the practical nature of the subject by summarizing the design steps and giving examples of exercises so that digital communications students can have an appreciation of each circuit.

The book is divided into 4 parts, with the first part providing the definition of digital communications and the different channels that propagate these digital elements.

In the second part, the authors define the different sampling methods, the analog to digital conversion, the errors due to this sampling and the quantifications.

The third part is entirely devoted to digital communications on the carrier frequencies and, finally, the fourth part presents different exercises and problems.
