Description
This concise guide provides a thorough introduction to the engineering background of modern communication systems, covering topics from mobile phones to data compression and storage. With a focus on practical applications, the authors introduce key concepts in coding, including the repetition code, Hamming code, and Huffman code, and explain the corresponding information theory.
The book covers essential topics such as entropy, mutual information, channel capacity, and the information transmission theorem, using worked examples and exercises to illustrate theoretical definitions. This makes it an ideal resource for anyone looking for a quick introduction to the subject, or for those who need to refresh their knowledge of coding and information theory.
