Excursions in Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics

by K.C. Raveendrana

Analog Communications Principles and Practices caters to the syllabus of undergraduate engineering programmes in ECE, EEE and IT streams of Indian universities. It can also serve as a primary textbook for BSc Electronics/Computer Science/IT. The methodology adopted in this book is to (i) illustrate concepts in modulation and signal processing using MATLAB, (ii) provide a simple and lucid approach to analysis without compromising mathematical rigor and (iii) include a fair number of worked-out examples and chapter-end-exercises. The book introduces recent and most promising developments in the domain of analog communications. The thrust on using MATLAB as simulation tool along with an introduction to MATLAB/Simulink in the first chapter makes the book suitable for use in programming and simulation lab as well.List of Figures / List of Tables / Foreword / Preface / The Analog World / Telephone Systems / Amplitude Modulation / AM Transmitters and Receivers / Angle Modulation / Probability, Random Variables, and Stochastic Processes / The Effect of Noise on Carrier Wave Modulation / Electrical Noise in Electronic Systems / Question Papers / Bibliography / Index
