Abstract: From the Publisher: This classic graduate- and research-level texty by two leading experts in the field of telecommunications is essential reading for anyone workign today in space and satellite digital communicatiions and those seeking a wider background in statistical communication theory and its applications. Ideal for practicing engineers as well as graduate students in communication systems courses, the book clearly presents and develops theory that can be used in the design and planning of telecommunication systems operating with either small or large performance margins. The book includes in its coverage a theory for use in the design of one-way and two-way phase-coherent and communication systems; and analysis and comparison of carrier and suppressed carrier synchronization techniques; treatment of the band-pass limiter theory; unification of phase-coherent detection with perfect and noisy synchronization reference signals. Convolutional codes, symbol synchronization, and noncoherent detection of M-ary signals are among the otehr subjects addressed in this comprehensive study. Dr. Lindsey, who is with the Communication Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California, and Dr. Simon, who is with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology, include at the end of each chapter a comprehensive set of problems that demonstrate the application of the theory developed.
