Modern Digital and Analog Communication Systems

Rate this book
Lathi's trademark user-friendly and highly readable text presents a complete and modern treatment of communication systems. It begins by introducing students to the basics of communication systems without using probabilistic theory. Only after a solid knowledge base--an understanding of how
communication systems work--has been built are concepts requiring probability theory covered. This third edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to include expanded coverage of digital communications. New topics discussed include spread-spectrum systems, cellular communication systems,
global positioning systems (GPS), and an entire chapter on emerging digital technologies (such as SONET, ISDN, BISDN, ATM, and video compression).
Ideal for the first communication systems course for electrical engineers, Modern Digital and Analog Communication Systems offers students a superb pedagogical style; it consistently does an excellent job of explaining difficult concepts clearly, using prose as well as mathematics. The author
makes every effort to give intuitive insights--rather than just proofs--as well as heuristic explanations of theoretical results wherever possible. Featuring lucid explanations, well-chosen examples clarifying abstract mathematical results, and excellent illustrations, this unique text is highly
informative and easily accessible to students.

I just started reading and the book is really good. It's really hard to find a book on telecommunication having a comprehensive language which I have been through. The book is good as I already said and I recommend it for the beginner who doesn't have any background in telecommunication (just like mine).

This is somewhat difficult for beginners in the field, like me! However, I liked (and found very helpful) the many illustrative diagrams and the verbose/lengthy writing style.

While it's never really fun to read a textbook, Lathi interjects just enough quirkiness to make his books more enjoyable. Better than that, his writing is very clear. This a good book for an introduction to communications systems.
