Signal Coding and Processing 2ed

This comprehensive text is a revised and greatly expanded second edition of a book first published in 1987, and provides a thorough introduction to the complex fields of signal coding and signal processing. Among the key topics covered are: the fundamentals of pulse code modulation; modern data compression techniques; block and convolutional error control codes; transmission coding techniques; digital filters; infinite and finite impulse response filters; adaptive filters; and fast Fourier transform theory, implementation and applications. Complete with problems and solutions, and containing over 230 diagrams, this textbook will be invaluable to third and fourth year undergraduates in electronic, electrical or communication engineering. It will also act as a useful reference for anyone working in this technologically important field.

Signal coding and signal processing are complex and critical elements of communications systems in broadcasting, satellite, and magnetic recording fields among others. Because both signal coding and processing are often found within a single electronic system (especially large communications systems), this book uniquely combines an introduction to both of these areas and provides an uncluttered theoretical treatment of optical coding and processing algorithms, together with design information for practical systems. The author examines Pulse Code Modulation fundamentals, surveys modern data compression techniques, introduces block and convolutional error control codes, and discusses modern transmission coding techniques. Complete with problems and solutions, and containing over 230 diagrams, this textbook will be invaluable to third- and fourth-year undergraduates in electronic, electrical, or communication engineering. It will also act as a useful reference for anyone working in this technologically important field.
