but also on electric cables).

      A second important aspect, teaching knowledge and skills, composes this book (first part of Volume 2). It concerns the tutorial aspect of a course. This is an ordered set of about 30 standard problems with detailed solutions covering the different parts of the course. The set should allow a learner to gradually and deeply understand the essentials of this field and acquire the necessary skills to practice them in the industrial world.

      Finally, the last aspect concerns practices in the proper sense of the term, an indispensable complement to training progressing to know-how (second part of Volume 2). We propose here a set of five lab works. The interest of these is that they go from the basic measurements on the transmission cables, to the design in software simulation of modems and cyclic coders, through the use of blocks of electronic modules carrying out basic functions useful in digital communications.

      For every book sold, we will provide the buyer with two practical pieces of software from MATLAB-Simulink: “Modem QPSK” and “Cyclic encoder-decoder”, free of charge. We will provide necessary explanations and endeavor to help with the set-up of the two pieces of practical material.
