This textbook covers foundational principles and techniques behind both analogue and digital communication systems. It begins with basic topics such as information systems, data compression and error detection, and then progresses to advanced matters like analogue modulation, spread-spectrum systems, digital modulation techniques, pulse-code modulation, noise and distortion effects, bit error rate analysis, source coding, error-correction coding, line and interface coding, and protocols including the ISO OSI 7-layer model. The book is written to be accessible (less mathematical) and is aimed at HND-level electronic communications students or junior undergraduates seeking a broad, practical grounding in communication theory.
