<--( BOOK )------------------------------------------------------------------->
This easy-to-read guide provides a concise introduction to the engineering
background of modern communication systems, from mobile phones to data
compression and storage. Background mathematics and specific engineering
techniques are kept to a minimum so that only a basic knowledge of high-school
mathematics is needed to understand the material covered. The authors begin
with many practical applications in coding, including the repetition code,
the Hamming code and the Huffman code. They then explain the corresponding
information theory, from entropy and mutual information to channel capacity
and the information transmission theorem. Finally, they provide insights into
the connections between coding theory and other fields. Many worked examples
are given throughout the book, using practical applications to illustrate
theoretical definitions. Exercises are also included, enabling readers to
double-check what they have learned and gain glimpses into more advanced
topics, making this perfect for anyone who needs a quick introduction to the
subject.
