Modulation Methods

$\Rightarrow \hspace{0.5cm}\text{The translation of this book to English is in progress. The first  $2$  chapters are completed.}$

This book describes essential fundamentals of analog as well as digital transmission technology.  Further details of digital signal transmission - such as error probability calculation and system optimization - are covered in the book  Digital Signal Transmission .

The description builds on the books  Signal Representation  and  Linear and Time Invariant Systems.  Knowledge of  Theory of Stochastic Signals  is helpful, but not essential.

Here first a  »content overview«  on the basis of the  »five main chapters«  with a total of  »23 individual chapters«:
