Communication Engineering Principles is aimed at undergraduates in communication engineering, and uses an innovative approach to provide a comprehensive introduction to the subject, imparting a thorough grounding in the fundamental concepts and design issues involved.
This book takes the approach that the engineering must come before the mathematics, allowing the reader to appreciate the underlying engineering concepts without being deterred or confused by a needlessly high level of mathematics. Wherever possible, Communication Engineering Principles uses a minimal mathematics approach, employing a clear writing style and lucid graphs and diagrams to aid understanding. The book also coaches the reader in practical problem solving, using examples from a wide range of current applications in communication engineering. After studying the material in this book the reader will have the skill and confidence to deal with more specialist telecommunications topics.
