Synopses & Reviews
With exceptionally clear writing, Lathi takes students step by step through a history of communications systems from elementary signal analysis to advanced concepts in communications theory. The first four chapters of the text present basic principles, subsequent chapters offer ample material for flexibility in course content and level. All Topics are covered in detail, including a thorough treatment of frequency modulation and phase modulation. Numerous worked examples in each chapter and over 300 end-of-chapter problems and numerous illustrations and figures support the content.
