This supplement to any standard communication systems text is one of the first books to successfully integrate the use of MATLAB in the study of communication systems concepts and problems. It has been developed for instructors and students who wish to make use of MATLAB as an integral part of their study. The former will find the means by which to use MATLAB as a powerful tool to motivate students and illustrate essential theory without having to customize the applications themselves; the latter will find relevant problems quickly and easily. The book includes numerous MATLAB-based simulations and examples of communication systems, while providing a good balance of theory and hands-on computer experience. This Updated Printing revises the book and MATLAB files (available for downloading from the Brooks/Cole Bookware Companion Resource Center Web Site) to MATLAB V5.
* Covers the three major areas: signal and system analysis, analog communication, and digital communication * Emphasis on HDTV, LANs, WANs, satellite (iridium) telephone systems to address changes in professional arena * Features examples and exercises within each chapter, helping to master new concepts as they are introduced...
Typically, there are over twenty radio systems on board the average commercial jet aircraft dealing with communication, navigation and surveillance functions. Very high frequency (VHF) air-to-ground communication is usually the main method of information and control exchange between pilot and air traffic control. Satellite and high frequency radio links are used to complement this system for long range or oceanic information exchanges. Other communications systems are required between the airline operation centre and the pilot and sometimes between the passengers and the ground.A comprehensive guide to current systems, networks and topologies, this book covers application requirements for communication and related radio-navigation and surveillance fu...
