Product Description
The authors hope that this book will be one of the all-the-time-reserved books in most libraries and can be found always on the desks of most communication engineers. The features of this book can be summarized as follows:
1. This book presents more MATLAB programs for the simulation of communication systems than any existent books with the same or similar titles as an approach to explain most things using MATLAB® and figures rather than English and equations.

Given the complexities in the field of digital communication, physical realization and visual perception of mathematical concepts could be quite challenging to one with little experience in the field. Unlike other books in stores today,”MATLAB/Simulink for Digital Communication”, attempts to thin the line between theory and practise and hence gives a better grasp of concepts, essential to one working in the field.
Every chapter of the book has simulation plots and block diagrams that aid our understanding. A huge asset to the book are the matlab scripts that help gain insights on module implementation and also build on them. The codes are intuitive and detailed. Besides, each chapter is supplemented with MATLAB-based exercises that help reinforce concepts learned. The book has a chapter solely dedicated to OFDM, which is seldom found in most books today. The exercises and codes are module based and serve as a good reference to one trying to build an OFDM system from scratch. The matlab codes, simulations and block diagrams help gain a holistic view on the subject.
The book is a valuable addition to one looking at learning and implementing digital communications systems.

Completely surprised for fast shipping from Korea! I bought this book for my friend and he told me it’s a very good hand for people who began seriously with Matlab.
As a buyer other than the reader, I’m totally satisfied by the whole shopping experience and the way the book looks and packed.

I’m new to Matlab and I’m going through the Proakis book and this one at the same time. I’m only on chapter 1. I found that the Yang book has excellent examples of professionally written matlab files that are error free. You do need the Signal Processing toolbox for some of the functions but they are included free with the student version of 2010a Matlab.
When I got to example 1.2 of the Proakis book the m-file didn’t work correctly. I found that changing the tol to .001 from .1 corrected the magnitude problem but I still can’t get the phase plot to work. The next few m-files have the same problem. If I had my choice I would rather have a book with professionally written m-files than simple ones. Where else are you going to learn this stuff?
Available from the Won Yang website are power point presentations for each chapter. This is a nice free bonus. As a beginner in matlab I would have liked the ppt slides to explain some of the more unusual parts of the m-files but you can figure it out with the matlab help files. It look me a while to understand the “inline” function and (.’*) vs. (‘*). I’m also trying to understand the tri_wave(t) function but I’m new to this stuff.
I would highly recommend this book. He has also written matlab books on other subjects that I’m sure are just as good.

The book is intended to survey the basics of digital communication and starts from the description of relationships between continuous and discrete Fourier transforms due to their important role in signal theory. Besides explanations of random processes as well as different types of modulations, analog-to-digital conversion, carrier recovery, and symbol synchronization schemes as parts of any digital communication system are introduced. The theoretical materials are confirmed by simulating with MATLAB and Simulink applications. Thus, the book will be helpfull for students and faculties as well as for profesionals as a reference material for digital communication.

This book is a must have for all Electrical Engg students(especially the ones with “Digital Communication” as specialization). The book deals very effeciently with a lot of topics related to Modulation and Transmission techniques. It covers a large numbers of topics which are not dealt by the earlier books on the same subject(e.g TCM, OFDM etc.). The book was shipped very promptly from Korea, and was received in a much shorter time than mentioned(around 3-4 days). The author too, is an extremely helpful person and has been very swift in entertaining any queries regarding the book. One can observe all the effort put into Matlab programming, as even the smallest of functions have been comprehensively covered. Overall, its a Great book, by an extremely talented author.
