    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.

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
