Topics in Digital Communications

  • Chapter
Data Communications Principles

Abstract

In this chapter we discuss several advanced topics in digital communications. These concepts are advanced from two perspectives: (1) they represent a synthesis and/or an extension of material that has been discussed earlier in this text; (2) the work is very timely in the technical literature and for product applications, and has not yet appeared in texts. With regard to the first item, the foundation technologies that have been described in earlier chapters are the basic building blocks used for the design and analysis of communications systems. Although several of the subjects we consider could have been treated in earlier chapters, we have chosen to collect them here so that we can draw on the foundation that has been developed.
