Contemporary Communication Systems Using MATLAB

Featuring a variety of applications that motivate readers, this book serves as a companion to any of the comprehensive books in communication systems. This book provides a variety of exercises that may be solved on the computer using MATLAB? (The authors assume that the student is familiar with the fundamentals of MATLAB). By design, the treatment of the various topics is brief. The authors provide the motivation and a short introduction to each topic, establish the necessary notation, and then illustrate the basic concepts by means of an example.

Dr. John G. Proakis is currently a Research Professor at Northeastern University. As a faculty member, he held positions as Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering (1969-1976), Professor of Electrical Engineering (1976-1998), Associate Dean of the College of Engineering and Director of the Graduate School of Engineering (1982-1984), and Chairman of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (1984-1997). Prior to 1969, he served on the staff of GTE Laboratories and the MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Dr. Proakis received the BSEE Degree from the University of Cincinnati, the MSEE Degree from MIT, and the Ph.D. in Engineering from Harvard University. His professional experience and interests are in the general areas of digital communications and digital signal processing and more specifically, in adaptive filtering, adaptive communication systems and adaptive equalization techniques, communication through fading multipath channels, radar detection, signal parameter estimation, communication systems modeling and simulation, optimization techniques, and statistical analysis. His academic duties include research in the areas of digital communications and digital signal processing and teaching of undergraduate and graduate courses in communications, circuit analysis, control systems, probability, stochastic processes, discrete systems, and digital signal processing. Dr. Proakis is the author or co-author of books in Digital Communications, Digital Signal Processing, Digital Signal Processing Laboratory, Advanced Digital Signal Processing, Digital Processing of Speech Signals, and Communication Systems Engineering.
