Taub’s Principles of Communication Systems, 4e is a comprehensive discourse on the fundamentals of analog and digital communication techniques. For years, the book has served the academic requirements of the communication engineers, both budding and practicing. In the revised edition, the focus has been to continue to serve the communication engineers by focusing on the latest trends and modifying the content accordingly. Thus, this text delves deep into the annals of the digital communication space with a necessary prerequisite on analog communication principles. This book is a self-sustaining literature for an undergraduate as well as a graduate programmer on the principles of communication.
