Analog Communications Problems and Solutions

This textbook covers the fundamental concepts of analog communications with a Q&A approach. It is a comprehensive compilation of numerical problems and solutions covering all the topics in analog communications. Richly illustrated with figures, this book covers the important topics of signals and systems, random variables and random processes, amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, pulse code modulation and noise in analog modulation. It has numerical questions and their solutions clearing the concepts of Fourier transform, Hilbert transform, modulation, synchronization, signal-to-noise ratio analysis and many more. All the solutions have step-by-step approach for easy understanding. This book will be of great interest to the students of electronics and electrical communications engineering.

Signals and Systems.- Random Variables & Random Processes.- Amplitude Modulation.- Frequency Modulation.- Noise in Analog Modulation.- Pulse Code Modulation.- Signaling Through AWGN Channel.- Bibliography.- Index.

K. Vasudevan completed his Bachelor of Technology (Honours) from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering, IIT Kharagpur, India, in 1991, and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Madras, in 1996 and 2000, respectively. During 1991–1992, he was employed with Indian Telephone Industries Ltd., Bangalore, India. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Mobile Communications Lab, EPFL, Switzerland, and then an Engineer at Texas Instruments, Bangalore. Since July 2001, he has been a faculty member at the Electrical Department at IIT Kanpur, where he is now an Associate Professor. His interests lie in the area of communication.
