Frerking M.E. Digital Signal Processing in Communication Systems

Springer, 1994. — 638.This book was written with the intent of developing the concepts of digital signal processing (DSP) that are particularly useful and often applied in the design communications equipment. Both professional engineers who wish to upgrade their skills in digital signal processing and students who wish to gain additional knowledge in the area of communications should find it useful.
The author has been privileged to work in the design of communications equipment during the period when rapidly expanding hardware capability made it practical and economical to apply many of the techniques of digital signal processing to real-world problems in communications. As a result, the algorithms and concepts chosen for development in the book tend to be those that are likely to find applications in the design of radio receivers, transmitters, modems, and so forth.
Many engineers working in the communications field are well experienced the design of analog equipment but have limited experience with digital signal processing techniques. The book is particularly designed to assist engineers in category by first reviewing some of the basic concepts of digital signal processing, and then proceeding with the algorithms and techniques used in communications. Students who have already taken a basic digital signal processing course can these chapters as a quick review to ensure that they thoroughly understand the fundamentals that will be required later to develop the techniques used in communications equipment design. The author believes that a thorough understanding the fundamentals often leads to greater insight in identifying when a particular concept or idea can be applied in an equipment design.
The availability of low-cost digital signal processing hardware during the 1970s, as well as a near explosion in LSI technology and analog-to-digital converter capability, has paved the way for digital signal processing applications. Consequently, digital signal processing techniques are replacing many functions that were previously designed using analog circuits. The advantages of digital signal processing are very great in many areas, and equipments are being designed with features not previously practical or economical to implement with analog (e.g., radio receivers and transmitters with embedded modems). DSP is particularly attractive in equipment that must provide many modes of operation different bandwidths. The equipment can also be made flexible to accommodate new requirements as they arise, or can be tailored to specific customer needs.
These advantages, along with the continuing advancements in hardware capability, virtually ensure the continued application of digital signal processing in foreseeable future. It is, therefore, most useful for the engineer or student to master the fundamental concepts used in digital signal processing as applied to communications problems.Digital Signal Processing Concepts
