Spread-spectrum systems have found important commercial applications in CDMA cellular networks and wireless personal communication networks. Communications engineers and technicians now have ready access to a wealth of spread-spectrum information in this exhaustive handbook the most comprehensive and authoritative compendium on spread-spectrum systems available anywhere.

Written by recognized authorities in the field, the Handbook presents both theoretical basics and practical applications, providing succinct, results-oriented solutions to engineering problems. Starting with basic concepts and system models, the book covers:Anti-jamming communication systemsCoherent direct-sequence systemsNon-coherent frequency-hopped systemsCoherent and differentially coherent modulation techniquesPseudonoise acquistion and tracking in direct sequence receiversTime and frequency synchronization of frequency-hopped receiversLow probability of intercept communications

In addition, it offers an in-depth look at multiple access communications and positioning systems and discusses the growth of spread-spectrum applications.

Basic Concepts in Information Theory and Coding is an outgrowth of a one­ semester introductory course that has been taught at the University of Southern California since the mid-1960s. Lecture notes from that course have evolved in response to student reaction, new technological and theoretical develop­ ments, and the insights of faculty members who have taught the course (in­ cluding the three of us). In presenting this material, we have made it accessible to a broad audience by limiting prerequisites to basic calculus and the ele­ mentary concepts of discrete probability theory. To keep the material suitable for a one-semester course, we have limited its scope to discrete information theory and a general discussion of coding theory without detailed treatment of algorithms for encoding and decoding for various specific code classes. Readers will find that this book offers an unusually thorough treatment of noiseless self-synchronizing codes, as well as the advantage of problem sections that have been honed by reactions and interactions of several gen­ erations of bright students, while Agent 00111 provides a context for the discussion of abstract concepts.

This highly readable text provides a clear exposition of the implications and interpretations of the fundamentals of discrete information theory and coding. Focusing on the results of practical applications, the authors cover information measures, Shannon's channel capacity/coding theorems, and source and channel coding concepts. The clear, accessible text will serve as an introduction to the field for professionals and students in communication systems, computer science, and electrical systems science.
