Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around finding books that cover various modulation schemes, including both basic and advanced topics such as OFDM, QAM, and DPSK. Participants seek recommendations for comprehensive resources that address a range of modulation techniques.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Technical explanation
- Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant is looking for a book that covers both basic and advanced modulation schemes, specifically mentioning OFDM, QAM, and DPSK.
- Another participant recommends "Introduction to Communication Systems" by Ferrel Stremler, sharing the contents of the 1st edition and suggesting that the 2nd edition may include additional topics.
- A participant expresses a need for a book that includes a wide range of modulation schemes, both old and new.
- One participant mentions using a text by Simon Haykin, noting that it covers similar topics to Stremler's book and was well written.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree on the need for comprehensive resources on modulation schemes, but there is no consensus on a single recommended book, as different texts are suggested.
Contextual Notes
Participants reference different editions of the same texts, which may have varying content. There is uncertainty regarding the updates in the newer editions of the recommended books.
Who May Find This Useful
