Textbook in PDF format
This book provides both a foundation in modern digital communications as well as an exploration of current digital transmission issues. Chapters 1–5 present the basics of digital communications theory and would represent material covered in a graduate course in digital communications. Chapters 6–10 delve deeper into the field of communications by exploring particular types of digital communications, (spread-spectrum, single-carrier, multicarrier) as well as required receiver methods such as synchronization and equalization. Chapters 11–16 focus on more specific applications of communications, for example, power line and optical communications. This book should serve both as an introduction and reference to the field of digital transmission
