Digital communications by satellite
Abstract
Topics in digital satellite communications are treated extensively for a readership of students or communications system designers acquainted with communications theory fundamentals and random processes. Major parts of the book are: signal quantizing and multiplexing; satellite communications; modulation and coding in distorted channels; worldwide timing by satellite relay. Some specific topics treated include: PCM quantizing, sampling of nonbandlimited signals, delta modulation and differential PCM, FDMA and TDMA, coherent and differentially coherent transmission techniques, QSK, BPSK, MPSK, DCPSK, phase-locked loops, bit synchronizers, Viterbi coding of convolution codes, data scrambling, delay-lock tracking of pseudonoise signals, PN sequences, and pair-selected-ternary (PST) pulse transmission.
