- Summary:
- Strengthen your understanding of how communication system signals are transmitted and received using Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) technology with this unique reference. Authored by a well-known expert in the field, this book identifies and describes the various types of PCM systems in use today, shows you how PCM is utilized in a wide variety of applications, and provides you with the technical knowledge you need to engineer, design, and analyze a PCM system.
- If you're an electrical or communication systems engineer who works with PCM systems, you'll appreciate this well written, easy-to-follow guide that explains basic PCM concepts and performance parameters, and provides you with key methods for estimating system performance and transmission loss. More advanced, practical sections cover PCM symbols, discuss various modulation and demodulation techniques, and help you better understand the problems associated with detection and synchronization. You learn...-- How to estimate bit error probability for PCM systems and fiber optic communication links-- How to calculate propagation loss for a typical wireless system-- How to assess synchronization performance, including acquisition time and loss of track time
- Adding to its value as a one-stop reference tool, the book includes more than 160 illustrations and design charts containing various PCM signaling methods that you can use to calculate system performance "on the fly". It's also filled with ready-made performance parameter formulas and system equations that you can import directly into your calculator or PC. Includes a valuable appendix that helps you identify the latest PC and software tools you can use to design andanalyze your own system.
