Analog Communications

This book develops the basic concepts in understanding Analog Communications. Beginning with coverage of amplitude modulation, including the time and frequency domain representations of double sideband, single sideband, and vestigial sideband modulation, and introduces the student to the fundamental ideas of quadrature amplitude modulation, frequency division multiplexing, and digital communications using on-off keying.

The author continues with additional discussion and coverage of the time and frequency domain representations of frequency and phase modulation, including bandwidth calculations, and the use of frequency shift keying, phase shift keying, and differential phase shift keying for the transmission of digital information.

Contents include applications and further analyses of the effects of channel noise on amplitude, phase, and frequency modulation performance based on input versus output signal to noise ratios and some systemcomparisons are discussed.

Provides a comprehensive introduction to analog communication systems, beginning with coverage of amplitude Explains with in-depth coverage the time and frequency domain representations of frequency and phase modulation Analyzes the effects of channel noise on amplitude, phase, and frequency modulation performance
