Lightwave Communications (Hardcover)

George C. Papen, Richard E. Blahut

商品描述

This pioneering, course-tested text is the first to combine communications theory with the physics of optical communications. Comprehensive and rigorous, it brings together an in-depth treatment of the physical characteristics of the guided lightwave channel with the study of modern methods of algorithmic-based communication in time and space. The many different levels at which a lightwave communication signal can be described are integrated to provide a unified explanation of how a commonplace bit stream is transformed into a physical lightwave, how that lightwave travels through an optical fiber, and how it is then transformed back into the bit stream. Background fundamentals such as linear systems and electromagnetics are explained in relation to modern topics such as channel models, encoding, modulation and interference, and end-of-chapter problems are provided throughout. This is an essential text for students taking courses on optical communications, as well as researchers and professionals working in the area.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本開創性且經過課程驗證的教材是第一本將通訊理論與光學通訊物理結合的書籍。它全面而嚴謹地將引導光波通道的物理特性與基於演算法的現代通訊方法的研究結合在一起。將光波通訊信號的多個不同層次整合在一起,提供了一個統一的解釋,說明了如何將常見的位元串轉換為物理光波,光波如何通過光纖傳輸,以及如何將其轉換回位元串。背景基礎知識,如線性系統和電磁學,與現代主題,如通道模型、編碼、調製和干擾,相關聯,並且在每章末尾提供了問題。這是一本對於修讀光學通訊課程的學生以及在該領域工作的研究人員和專業人士來說都是必不可少的教材。
