Modern Digital and Analog Communication Systems

Fifth Edition

B. P. Lathi and Zhi Ding

This text is suitable for students with or without prior knowledge of probability theory. Only after laying a solid foundation in how communication systems work do the authors delve into analyses that require probability theory and random processes. Revised and updated throughout, the fifth edition features over 200 fully worked-through examples incorporating current technology, MATLAB codes throughout, and a full review of key signals and systems concepts.

Reviews

"The biggest advantage of Modern Digital and Analog Communication is its accessible language and simple mathematical approaches that explain the difficult signal processing theories used in communication designs."
--Shengli Fu, University of North Texas
"The writing style is excellent: to the point and readable. The text includes both a clear technical introduction and lively examples and explanations, which will help my students."
--Xiaohua Li, Binghamton University

B.P. Lathi is Professor Emeritus at California State University - Sacramento. An authorial impresario, he is the author of Signals and Systems (2000), Linear Systems and Signal Processing (2nd Edition 2004), Modern Digital and Analog Communication Systems (4th Edition 2009), and the forthcoming Digital Signal Processing (2014). Dr. Lathi is renowned for his excellent writing, and each of his books has found significant markets in the crowded upper-level electrical engineering segment.

Zhi Ding is the Child Family Endowed Professor of Engineering and Entrepreneurship, at University of California - Davis. His research contributions cover a broad range of signal processing and communication problems including wireless transceiver optimization, blind channel estimation and equalization, multi-input-multi-output communications, multiuser detection, source separation, adaptive signal processing, parameter estimation, radar target discrimination, multimedia wireless communications, and cross-layer wireless communications. He has published over 200 refereed papers and book chapters. He received the IEEE Outstanding Instructor of the Year Award in 2002 for contributions to electrical engineering education from the IEEE student section in University of California, Davis.
