Principles of Communication Systems Simulation with Wireless Applications is a hands-on, example-rich guide to simulating wireless communications systems. The first book to present complete MATLAB simulation models for predicting the impact of design changes, it treats every aspect of simulation: sampling, signal and system representations, filters, noise, Monte Carlo simulation, postprocessing, nonlinear and time-varying systems, waveform and discrete channels, co-channel interference, and more. It includes four detailed case studies.About the Author: WILLIAM H.
