Fundamentals of Optical Communication I

Fundamentals of OFDM Communication

The OFDM history has to date back to the mid-60s, when Chang published a paper on the synthesis of bandlimited signals for multi-channel transmission [1]. The author investigated a technique for transmitting and receiving (transceiving) parallel information through a linear bandlimited channel without inter-channel interference (ICI) and inter-symbol interference (ISI). Saltzberg conducted rele...

Fundamentals of Digital Communication

This textbook presents the fundamental concepts underlying the design of modern digital communication systems, which include the wireline, wireless, and storage systems that pervade our everyday lives. Using a highly accessible, lecture style exposition, this rigorous textbook first establishes a firm grounding in classical concepts of modulation and demodulation, and then builds on these to in...

Fundamentals of Wireless Communication

The past decade has seen many advances in physical-layer wireless communication theory and their implementation in wireless systems. This textbook takes a unified view of the fundamentals of wireless communication and explains the web of concepts underpinning these advances at a level accessible to an audience with a basic background in probability and digital communication. Topics covered incl...

Fundamentals of Digital Communication

Wireline and wireless communication devices (modems – DSL and cable and WiFi – and cellular radios) are the workhorses that drive the modern information age. Their central goal is to move around the basic digital currency of the information: bits. This movement is done on physical media, either via wires or via wireless. The key challenge is that the input-output relationship of the physical me...
