' strongly recommended for advanced and graduate university courses in signal design for digital communication.' Zentralblatt MATH
Product Description
Wireless communications, advanced radar and sonar systems, and security systems for Internet transactions are contemporary examples of systems that employ digital signals to transmit information. This volume affords comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of the methodologies and application areas throughout the range of digital communication where individual signals, and sets of signals, with favorable correlation properties play a central role. Some application areas covered include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) signals such as those in use for cell-phone communication; digital systems for coded radar and sonar signals; and methods for secure authentication and stream cipher cryptology. The authors provide the necessary mathematical background to explain how the signals are generated and to show how the signals satisfy the appropriate correlation constraints.
Reader ReviewsOne of the authors, Solomon Golomb, is world renowned in cryptography circles. This text lets you see some of his efforts. It gives an extensive treatment of encrypting a signal in such ways that it can be efficiently decrypted, without compromising the security of the encoding. Of course, as just stated, this sounds rather vague. The book explains, in rigorous detail, the maths behind this. The book appears best suited for a graduate level course, or for professionals in the field. Perhaps for undergraduates with some prior exposure to information theory and electrical engineering.
