Digital Communications — Proakis & Salehi

John G. Proakis & Masoud Salehi, 5th Edition (McGraw-Hill)

The standard graduate text on digital communications: deterministic and random signal analysis, digital modulation (PAM/PSK/QAM) and its power spectral density, the optimum AWGN receiver — matched filter/correlator, maximum-likelihood detection, and error probability — information theory and source coding, and adaptive equalization by LMS and RLS. Read in Course 1 Sections 12–13 and 19 as the communications application of the same detection-and-estimation and source-coding theory, and the theory behind Course 2’s LMS-adaptive-equalizer lab (6.8).
