Transceiver and System Design

T his book covers basic communications theory and practical imple- mentation of transmitters and receivers. In so doing, I focus on dig- ital modulation, demodulation methods, probabilities, detection of digital signals, and spread spectrum system design and analysis. This book was written for those who want a good understanding of the basic prin- ciples of digital wireless communication systems, including spread spec- trum techniques. This book also provides a good intuitive and practical approach to digital communications. Therefore it is a valuable resource for anyoneinvolvedinwirelesscommunicationsandtransceiverdesignfordig- ital communications. The reader will gain a broad understanding of basic communication principles for transceiver design, digital communications, and spread spectrum, along with examples of many types of commercial and military data link systems.
