Digital Signal Transmission

The focus of this book is the  Calculation of the Error Probability,  which is the decisive quality feature for digital systems.

• The description is mainly in baseband,  but most of the results can also be applied to digital carrier frequency systems.

• In order to understand the five chapters of this book, a basic knowledge of  "Signal Representation"  and  "Stochastic Signal Theory"  is assumed,&nbsp which you can acquire e.g. with the help of the first and third books of this tutorial series.

Here first a  »content overview«  on the basis of the  »five main chapters«  with a total of  »26 individual chapters«:
