Inhaltsangabe

The first volume of a combined book and computer program for the simulation of communication systems. It is devoted to the modeling of signals and the processes operating upon them in the transmission or storage of digital data. Describes the engineering principles of signal transmission and explores programming issues of simulation.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Floyd M. Gardner is a consulting engineer active in electronics and communications. He is the principal of Gardner Research Company, a Fellow of the IEEE, a registered professional engineer in California, and the author of Phaselock Techniques, Second Edition. John D. Baker worked for many years as a software engineer in communications, signal processing, and simulation. Currently, he is at a university, applying his knowledge of technology to the teaching of mathematics. The authors have been working together on simulation programs since 1980. This book reveals much of what they have learned on the subject.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The design of communication systems has grown too complicated for the traditional design tools—mathematical analysis and laboratory breadboards. Enter the computer simulation, a powerful and versatile tool that is becoming essential for anyone who designs signal transmission or storage systems.

This volume explains in detail how to use simulation programs as a software breadboard to analyze and evaluate the performance of data communications links. It describes the engineering principles of signal transmission and its simulation, explores programming issues, and provides a comprehensive reference for models of signal processes.

The book clearly demonstrates how simulation techniques can be used to:

• Create valid models of signal processes
• Provide exibility through the use of modules
• Simulate various elements of communications systems, from filters and modulators to test instruments
• Explore alternative models for a given system
• Circumvent the mathematical intractability of modern transmission links
• Plan and construct a computer model in a matter of hours or days, versus the weeks or months needed for laboratory breadboards
• Make parameter changes in minutes once a link has been modeled
• Provide engineers and students with complete training on the elements of simulation

A must have for designers, practicing engineers, and graduate students, this volume presents real-world techniques that can be used with the authors' ST?DT program (a companion work also published by Wiley), or independently with other commercially available simulators.
