Written for senior-level undergraduates, first-year graduate students, and practicing engineers, this book presents the principles of communications at the physical layer. The book provides an overview of the necessary background in signal, system, probability, and random process theory required for analog and digital communications. In addition to stressing fundamental concepts, sections on areas such as spread spectrum, cellular communications, and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing are provided. MATLAB is used to solve examples throughout the book.  These examples range from programs for computing performance curves to simulation programs for certain types of communication systems and algorithms.
