Engineers face the reality of imperfect and noisy channels when designing digital communication systems (DCS). The engineers must account for signal degradation to ensure that a receiver receives the message that the transmitter intended....
Satellite system engineers consider the narrow beams (which lend themselves to frequency reuse) and high data rates of Ka band channels attractive for communication systems [Khan 2]. As a result, the satellite community witnessed a great increase...
This blog post summarizes the first three chapters of Bernard Sklar's Digital Communication - Fundamentals and Applications textbook. Signals A Digital Communication System (DCS) transmitter (XMT) sends a waveform selected from a finite set of...
