Analog Communications Problems & Solutions

Analog Communications: Problems & Solutions is suitable for third year under- graduates taking a first course in communications. Although most of the present day communication systems are digital, they continue to use many basic concepts like Fourier transform, Hilbert transform, modulation, synchronization, signal- to-noise ratio analysis, and so on, that has roots in analog communications. The book is richly illustrated with figures and easy to read.
