The book discusses the basic principles of coding, modulation, detection and information processing, as required to understand and appreciate the modern digital communication systems. It starts with the mathematical and conceptual background for random signals and Gaussian-derived processes, and discusses the digital representation of signals, optimum detection and estimation, and error-correcting codes in subsequent chapters. The last chapter on information theory includes a discussion on the evaluation of practical communication systems. The major emphasis has been on digital techniques as all futuristic networks will be all-digital only.
