    Book Modulation
AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking recommendations for books on modulation schemes, specifically looking for resources that cover both basic and advanced topics such as OFDM, QAM, and DPSK. They mention their previous text, "Introduction to Communication Systems" by Ferrel Stremler, and express uncertainty about updates in the second edition. Suggestions include checking local technical libraries for updated editions and considering Simon Haykin's book, which is noted for its comprehensive coverage of similar topics. The discussion emphasizes the need for a resource that encompasses a wide range of modulation schemes, both old and new. Overall, the quest is for a thorough and informative text on modulation techniques.

Hello to everyone i am looking for a book dedicated to the modulation schemes. I want to read about the basics but also more advanced modulation schemes such as OFDM,QAM,DPSK etc
Do u know any book or url that i can find the information i need?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
My old text was "Introduction to Communication Systems" by Ferrel Stremler.
 
Thx a lot what modulation schemes explained? I need a book that includes almost everything from modulation schemes... old and the newest ones.
Thx for your time
 
I have the older 1st edition of Stremler. I don't know if much got added or updated in the 2nd edition:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0201184982/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Here's the contents of the 1st edition:

1 -- Intro
2 -- Orthogonality and Signal Representations
3 -- Fourier Transform and Applications
4 -- Power Spectral Density
5 -- Ampl Modulation (AM, FDM, SSB)
6 -- Angle Mod (FM, PM)
7 -- Pulse Mod (PAM, TDM, PWM, PPM, PCM)
8 -- Probability and Random Variables
9 -- Information and Digital Transmission (BW vs. SNR, PCM vs. optimum)
Appendices (math tables, broadcast band info, erf, preemphasis systems, Bessel functions, etc.)


EDIT -- I'd guess he's added at least CDM in the 2nd edition, but I'm not sure. Maybe check out the book at your local technical library -- they should have a copy.
 
thx a lot i am also looking for more advanced modulation schemes such as dpsk,gmsk,qam,fsk etc
 
My text was http://he-cda.wiley.com/WileyCDA/HigherEdTitle/productCd-0471178691,courseCd-E56100.html by Simon Haykin, which I feel was very well written. (I used the 3rd edition). It covered very similar topics as Stremler.

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
