PREFACE
T he chief objective of the fourth edition is to respond to the tremendous amount of tech-
nological progress in communication systems we have witnessed over the decade since
the third edition was published. At the same time, newer software and teaching tools have
also become available, making it much easier to provide solid and illustrative examples as
well as more experimental opportunities for students. In this new edition, major changes are
implemented to incorporate recent technological advances of telecommunications. To captivate
students’ attention and make it easier for students to relate the course materials to their daily
experience with communication tools, we will provide relevant information on the operation
and features of cellular systems, wireless local area networks (LANs), and wire-line (digital
subscriber loop or DSL) internet services, among others.
Major Revision
A number of critical changes are motivated by the need to emphasize the fundamentals of
digital communication systems that have permeated our daily lives. Specifically, in light of the
widespread applications of new technologies such as spread spectrum and orthogonal frequency
division multiplexing (OFDM), we present two new chapters: Chapter 12 on spread spectrum
communications and Chapter 13 on frequency-selective channels and OFDM systems. As
practical examples of such systems, we provide a basic introduction of current wireless commu-
nication standards including cellular systems and IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN systems.
In addition, we summarize the latest in DSL modem technology and services. At the funda-
mental level, information theory and coding have also been transformed by several important
new progresses. In this edition, we include the basic principles of multiple-input–multiple-
output (MIMO) technology, which has just begun to see broad commercial applications. We
also cover several notable breakthroughs in error correction coding, including soft decoding,
turbo codes, and low-density parity check (LDPC) codes.
To enhance the learning experience and to give students opportunities for computer-based
experimental practices, relevant MATLAB examples and exercises have been provided in
chapters that can be enhanced by these hands-on experiments.
Organization
With respect to organization, we begin the fourth edition with a traditional review of signal and
system fundamentals before proceeding to the core communication topics of analog modulation
and digital pulse-coded modulation. We then present the fundamental tools of probability theory
and random processes to be used in the design and analysis of digital communications in the rest
of this text. After the fundamentals of digital communication systems have been covered, the
last two chapters provide an overview of information theory and the fundamentals of forward
error correction codes.

xvi PREFACE
Ideally, the communications subjects germane to this text should be covered in two
courses: one on the basic operations of communication systems and one on the analysis of
modern communication systems under noise and other distortions. The former relies heav-
ily on deterministic analytical tools such as Fourier series, the Fourier transform, and the
sampling theorem, while the latter relies on tools from probability and random processes to
tackle the unpredictability of message signals and noises. In today’s academic environment,
however, with so many competing courses, it may be difficult to squeeze two basic courses
on communications into a typical electrical engineering curriculum. Some universities do
require a course in probability and random processes as a prerequisite. In that case, it is pos-
sible to cover both areas reasonably well in a one-semester course. This book is designed for
adoption in both cases. It can be used as a one-semester course in which the deterministic
aspects of communication systems are emphasized with little consideration of the effects of
noise and interference. It can also be used for a course that deals with both the deterministic
and the probabilistic aspects of communication systems. The book is self-contained, since
it provides all the necessary background in probabilities and random processes. As stated
earlier, however, if both deterministic and probabilistic aspects of communications are to be
covered in one semester, it is highly desirable for students to have a good background in
probabilities.
Chapter 1 introduces a panoramic view of communication systems. Important concepts of
communication theory are explained qualitatively in a heuristic way. This attracts the students
to the topics of communications. With this momentum, students are motivated to study the
tools of signal analysis in Chapters 2 and 3, which encourage them to see a signal as a vector,
and to think of the Fourier spectrum as a way of representing a signal in terms of its vector
components. Chapters 4 and 5 discuss amplitude (linear) and angle (nonlinear) modulations,
respectively. Many instructors feel that in this digital age, modulation should be deemphasized
with a minimal presence. We hold the view that modulation is not so much a method of com-
munication as a basic tool of signal processing; it will always be needed, not only in the area
of communication (digital or analog), but also in many other areas of electrical engineering.
Hence, neglecting modulation may prove to be rather shortsighted. Chapter 6 serves as the
fundamental link between analog-and-digital communications by describing the process of
analog-to-digital conversion (ADC). It provides the details of sampling, pulse code modula-
tion (including DPCM), delta modulation, speech coding (vocoder), image/video coding, and
compression. Chapter 7 discusses the principles and techniques used in digital modulations. It
introduces the concept of channel distortion and presents equalization as an effective means
of compensating for distortion.
Chapters 8 and 9 provide the essential background on theories of probability and random
processes, which comprise the second tool required for the study of communication systems.
Every attempt is made to motivate students and to elevate their interest through these chapters
by providing applications to communications problems wherever possible. Chapters 10 and
11 present the analysis of analog and digital communication systems in the presence of noise.
Optimum signal detection in digital communication is thoroughly presented in Chapter 11.
Chapter 12 focuses on spread spectrum communications. Chapter 13 presents various practical
techniques that can be used to combat practical channel distortions. This chapter will capture
both channel equalization and the broadly applied technology of OFDM. Chapter 14 provides
an overview of information theory. Finally, the principle and key practical aspects of error
control coding are given in Chapter 15.
One of the aims of writing this book has been to make learning a pleasant or at least a less
intimidating experience for students by presenting the subject in a clear, understandable, and
logically organized manner. Every effort has been made to deliver an insight—rather than just
an understanding—as well as heuristic explanations of theoretical results wherever possible.
Preface xvii
Many examples are provided for further clarification of abstract results. Even a partial success
in achieving this stated goal would make all our efforts worthwhile.
Course Adoption
With a combined teaching experience of over 50 years, we have taught communication classes
under both quarter and semester systems in several major universities. On the other hand, the
students’ personal experiences with communication systems have continuously been multiply-
ing, from a simple radio set in the 1960s, to the turn of the twenty-first century, with its easy
access to wireless LAN, cellular devices, satellite radio, and home internet services. Hence,
more and more students are interested in learning how familiar electronic gadgets work. With
this important need and our past experiences in mind, we revised the fourth edition of this
text to fit well within several different curriculum configurations. In all cases, basic coverage
should teach the fundamentals of analog and digital communications (Chapters 1–7).
(cf. Cooper and McGillem, Probabilistic Methods of Signal and System Analysis, Oxford
University Press, 1999, ISBN: 0195123549). For this scenario, in addition to Chapters 1 to 7,
Chapter 11 and part of Chapter 13 on equalization can also be taught in one semester, provided
the students have a solid probability background that permits the coverage of Chapter 8 and
Chapter 9 in a few hours. Students completing this course would be well prepared to enter the
telecommunications industry or to continue in a program of graduate studies.

1 INTRODUCTION
O
ver the past decade, the rapid expansion of digital communication technologies has
been simply astounding. Internet, a word and concept once familiar only to technolo-
gists and the scientific community, has permeated every aspect of people’s daily lives.
It is quite difficult to find any individual in a modern society that has not been touched by new
communication technologies ranging from cellular phones to Bluetooth. This book examines
the basic principles of communication by electric signals. Before modern times, messages
were carried by runners, carrier pigeons, lights, and fires. These schemes were adequate for the
distances and “data rates” of the age. In most parts of the world, these modes of communication
have been superseded by electrical communication systems,∗ which can transmit signals over
much longer distances (even to distant planets and galaxies) and at the speed of light.
Electrical communication is dependable and economical; communication technologies
improve productivity and energy conservation. Increasingly, business meetings are conducted
through teleconferences, saving the time and energy formerly expended on travel. Ubiqui-
tous communication allows real-time management and coordination of project participants
from around the globe. E-mail is rapidly replacing the more costly and slower “snail mails.”
E-commerce has also drastically reduced some costs and delays associated with marketing,
while customers are also much better informed about new products and product information.
Traditional media outlets such as television, radio, and newspapers have been rapidly evolving
in the past few years to cope with, and better utilize, the new communication and networking
technologies. The goal of this textbook is to provide the fundamental technical knowledge
needed by next-generation communication engineers and technologists for designing even
better communication systems of the future.

merely learning the operations of those existing systems they have studied; More impor-
tantly, they can acquire the basic knowledge needed to design and analyze new systems never
encountered in a textbook. To begin, it is essential to establish a typical communication sys-
tem model as shown in Fig. 1.2. The key components of a communication system are as
follows.
The source originates a message, such as a human voice, a television picture, an e-mail
message, or data. If the data is nonelectric (e.g., human voice, e-mail text, television video),
it must be converted by an input transducer into an electric waveform referred to as the
baseband signal or message signal through physical devices such as a microphone, a computer
keyboard, or a CCD camera.
The transmitter modifies the baseband signal for efficient transmission. The transmitter
may consist of one or more subsystems: an A/D converter, an encoder, and a modulator.
Similarly, the receiver may consist of a demodulator, a decoder, and a D/A converter.
1.1 Communication Systems 3

The channel is a medium of choice that can convey the electric signals at the transmitter
output over a distance. A typical channel can be a pair of twisted copper wires (telephone and
DSL), coaxial cable (television and internet), an optical fiber, or a radio link. Additionally, a
channel can also be a point-to-point connection in a mesh of interconnected channels that form
a communication network.
The receiver reprocesses the signal received from the channel by reversing the signal
modifications made at the transmitter and removing the distortions made by the channel. The
receiver output is fed to the output transducer, which converts the electric signal to its original
form—the message.
The destination is the unit to which the message is communicated.
A channel is a physical medium that behaves partly like a filter that generally attenuates
the signal and distorts the transmitted waveforms. The signal attenuation increases with the
length of the channel, varying from a few percent for short distances to orders of magni-
tude in interplanetary communications. Signal waveforms are distorted because of physical
phenomena such as frequency-dependent gains, multipath effects, and Doppler shift. For
example, a frequency-selective channel causes different amounts of attenuation and phase
shift to different frequency components of the signal. A square pulse is rounded or “spread
out” during transmission over a low-pass channel. These types of distortion, called linear
distortion, can be partly corrected at the receiver by an equalizer with gain and phase
characteristics complementary to those of the channel. Channels may also cause nonlin-
ear distortion through attenuation that varies with the signal amplitude. Such distortions
can also be partly corrected by a complementary equalizer at the receiver. Channel distor-
tions, if known, can also be precompensated by transmitters by applying channel-dependent
predistortions.
In a practical environment, signals passing through communication channels not only
experience channel distortions but also are corrupted along the path by undesirable inter-
ferences and disturbances lumped under the broad term noise. These interfering signals are
random and are unpredictable from sources both external and internal. External noise includes
interference signals transmitted on nearby channels, human-made noise generated by faulty
contact switches of electrical equipment, automobile ignition radiation, fluorescent lights or
natural noise from lightning, microwave ovens, and cellphone emissions, as well as elec-
tric storms and solar and intergalactic radiation. With proper care in system design, external
noise can be minimized or even eliminated in some cases. Internal noise results from thermal
motion of charged particles in conductors, random emission, and diffusion or recombina-
tion of charged carriers in electronic devices. Proper care can reduce the effect of internal
noise but can never eliminate it. Noise is one of the underlying factors that limit the rate of
telecommunications.
Thus in practical communication systems, the channel distorts the signal, and noise accu-
mulates along the path. Worse yet, the signal strength decreases while the noise level remains
4 INTRODUCTION
steady regardless of the distance from the transmitter. Thus, the signal quality is continuously
worsening along the length of the channel. Amplification of the received signal to make up for
the attenuation is to no avail because the noise will be amplified by the same proportion, and
the quality remains, at best, unchanged.∗ These are the key challenges that we must face in
designing modern communication systems.
∗ Actually, amplification may further deteriorate the signal because of additional amplifier noise.
† Here we imply the information contained in the speech rather than its details such as the pronunciation of words
and varying inflections, pitch, and emphasis. The speech signal from a microphone contains all these details and is
therefore an analog signal, and its information content is more than a thousand times greater than the information
accessible from the written text of the same speech.

−A/2 (Fig 1.3a). In an M -ary case, M distinct electrical pulses (or waveforms) are used;
each of the M pulses represents one of the M possible symbols. Once transmitted, the
receiver must extract the message from a distorted and noisy signal at the channel output.
Message extraction is often easier from digital signals than from analog signals because
the digital decision must belong to the finite-sized alphabet. Consider a binary case: two
symbols are encoded as rectangular pulses of amplitudes A/2 and −A/2. The only deci-
sion at the receiver is to select between two possible pulses received; the fine details of
the pulse shape are not an issue. A finite alphabet leads to noise and interference immu-
nity. The receiver’s decision can be made with reasonable certainty even if the pulses
have suffered modest distortion and noise (Fig. 1.3). The digital message in Fig. 1.3a is dis-
torted by the channel, as shown in Fig. 1.3b. Yet, if the distortion is not too large, we can
recover the data without error because we need make only a simple binary decision: Is the
received pulse positive or negative? Figure 1.3c shows the same data with channel distortion
and noise. Here again, the data can be recovered correctly as long as the distortion and the
noise are within limits. In contrast, the waveform shape itself in an analog message carries the
needed information, and even a slight distortion or interference in the waveform will show up
in the received signal. Clearly, a digital communication system is more rugged than an analog
communication system in the sense that it can better withstand noise and distortion (as long
as they are within a limit).
The front of the La Bassée Sector ran north and south for nearly
5000 yards, and was intersected in the centre by the Béthune—La
Bassée Canal, at a point roughly three kilometres west of the town of
La Bassée. The left, or Givenchy, sub-sector contained the ruins of
Givenchy, once a mining village, now an important tactical point on a
spur of the Aubers ridge. The right sub-sector, which included the
canal and the village of Cuinchy to the south, was known as the
Canal Sector. The opposing lines had been practically stationary
since 1915, and here could be traced the history of trench warfare
from its early and crude forms to its latest developments, as the story
of the earth’s surface is revealed in strata and fossils to the
geologist. The trenches and landmarks bore names familiar to very
many battalions and units of the B.E.F., as, for instance, Windy
Corner, Harley Street, Orchard Keep, Moat Keep, Poppy and Marie
Redoubts, Death or Glory Sap, Red Dragon Crater, Mill Sap, and
many others. In the reserve line—part of the “Village Line” which ran
as far south as Lens—stood Cambrin, Pont Fixe, Le Plantin,
Festubert, and Cailloux, all in ruins, though in Cambrin, within 2000
yards of the front line, a few civilians still clung to their homes and
strove to subsist by providing light lunches and selling eggs,
chocolates, and oranges to the troops. This sector was popularly
known as “Egg and Chips Front.”
D.H.Q. was at Locon. One infantry brigade held each sub-sector
and the third was in Divisional Reserve, with a system of reliefs
described by an appreciative officer as “beautiful and soothing in its
clockwork regularity.” The villages of Beuvry, Le Preol, Essars, Le
Quesnoy, Gorre, and Oblinghem provided some of the best billets
the Division experienced in France or Belgium, and the
comparatively large town of Béthune was near enough to offer its
considerable attractions to the troops in reserve. Béthune and its
inhabitants had always enjoyed an admirable reputation among
officers and men of the B.E.F., and when the Division first entered
this area the town was not seriously damaged. At a later date,
however, it suffered so severely from aircraft bombing and a long-
range gun that many of its inhabitants were forced to leave; and a
company of the 8th Manchesters on its way from the front to its
billets in the vicinity of the town was surprised by a low-flying plane,
which dropped a bomb that killed or wounded nearly half the
company. By the end of the year 1917 Béthune was like a city of the
dead.
