Elements of Information Theory

Synchronization in Digital Communications Volume I Phase-, Frequency-Locked Loops, and Amplitude Control Heinrich Meyr and Gerd Ascheid Volume I provides in-depth coverage of the synchronization function and related topics of digital communications systems. The objective of the book is to develop a theoretical framework for synchronization that will enable the reader to derive practical solutions to synchronization problems in the diverse areas of digital communications. It covers the fundamentals of phase, frequency, and amplitude control. An understanding of these functions is necessary to comprehend any synchronization system. 1990 (0 471-50193-X) 510 pp.
