Digital Communication Receivers, Synchronization, Channel Estimation, and Signal Processing

by Heinrich Meyr, Marc Moeneclaey, Stefan A. Fechtel

Digital Communication Receivers, Volume 2: Synchronization, Channel Estimation, and Signal Processing offers a complete treatment on the theoretical and practical aspects of synchronization and channel estimation from the standpoint of digital signal processing. The focus on these increasingly important topics, the systematic approach to algorithm development, and the linked algorithm-architecture methodology in digital receiver design are unique features of this book. The material is structured according to different classes of transmission channels. In Part C, baseband transmission over wire or optical fiber is addressed. Part D covers passband transmission over satellite or terrestrial wireless channels. Part E deals with transmission over fading channels. Designed for the practicing communication engineer and the graduate student, the book places considerable emphasis on helpful examples, summaries, illustrations, and bibliographies. Contents
