ReviewsAdvance praise: 'Madhow does it again: Introduction to Communication Systems is an accessible yet rigorous new text that does for undergraduates what his [Fundamentals of] Digital Communication book did for graduate students. It provides a superior treatment of not only the fundamentals of analog and digital communication, but also the theoretical underpinnings needed to understand them, including frequency domain analysis and probability. The book is unusual in that it also includes newer topics of pressing current relevance like multiple antenna communication and OFDM. I strongly recommend this book for faculty teaching senior level courses on communication systems.' Jeffrey G. Andrews, University of Texas, Austin

SynopsisShowcasing the essential principles behind modern communication systems, this accessible undergraduate textbook provides a solid introduction to the foundations of communication theory. Carefully selected topics introduce students to the most important and fundamental concepts, giving students a focused, in-depth understanding of core material, and preparing them for more advanced study. Abstract concepts are introduced to students 'just in time' and reinforced by nearly 200 end-of-chapter exercises, alongside numerous MATLAB code fragments, software problems and practical lab exercises, firmly linking the underlying theory to real-world problems, and providing additional hands-on experience. Finally, an accessible lecture-style organisation makes it easy for students to navigate to key passages, and quickly identify the most relevant material. Containing material suitable for a one- or two-semester course, and accompanied online by a password-protected solutions manual and supporting instructor resources, this is the perfect introductory textbook for undergraduate students studying electrical and computer engineering., Showcasing the principles behind modern communication systems, this accessible undergraduate textbook introduces only the most important fundamental concepts.
