The paper in this book was manufactured by a mill whose forest management programs include sustained
yield harvesting of its timberlands. Sustained yield harvesting principles ensure that the numbers of trees cut
each year does not exceed the amount of new growth.

Electrical engineering education has undergone some radical changes during the past cou ple
of decades and continues to do so. A modern undergraduate program in electrical
engineering includes the following two introductory courses:

D- Signals and Systems, which provides a balanced and integrated treatment of contin-
uous-time and discrete-time forms of signals and systems. The Fourier transform (in
its different forms), Laplace transform, and z-transform are treated in detail. Typi-
cally, the course also includes an elementary treatment of communication systems.
Probability and Random Processes, which develops an intuitive grasp of discrete and
continuous random variables and then introduces the notion of a random process
and its characteristics.

Typically, these two introductory courses lead to a senior-level course on communication


systems.
The fourth edition of this book has been written with this background and primary
objective in mind. Simply put, the book provides a modern treatment of communication
systems at a level suitable for a one- or two-semester senior undergraduate course. The
emphasis is on the statistical underpinnings of communication theory with applications.
The material is presented in a logical manner, and it is illustrated with examples,
with the overall aim being that of helping the student develop an intuitive grasp of the
theory under discussion. Except for the Background and Preview chapter, each chapter
ends with numerous problems designed not only to help the students test their understand ing
of the material covered in the chapter but also to challenge them to extend this material. Every
chapter includes notes and references that provide suggestions for further reading. Sections or
subsections that can be bypassed without loss of continuity are identified with a footnote.
A distinctive feature of the book is the inclusion of eight computer experiments using
MATLAB. This set of experiments provides the basis of a "Software Laboratory", with
each experiment being designed to exend the material covered in the pertinent chapter.
Most important, the experiments explOit the unique capabilities of MATLAB in an instruc -
tive manner. The MATLAB codes for all these experiments are available on the Wiley Web
site: http://www.wiley.comlcollegelhaykini .
The Background and Preview chapter presents introductory and motivational ma-
terial, paving the way for detailed treatment of the many facets of communication systems
in the subsequent 10 chapters. The material in these chapters is organized as follows:
t. Chapter 1 develops a detailed treatment of random, or stochastic, processes, with
particular emphasis on their partial characterization (i.e., second-order statistics). In
effect, the discussion is restricted to wide-sense stationary processes. The correlation
