Introduction
Digital communications is the exchange of information using a finite set of signal
waveforms. This is in contrast to analog communication (e.g., AM/FM radio)
which do not use a finite set of signals.
Why use digital communications:
• Natural choice for digital sources, e.g., computer communications.
• Source encoding or data compression techniques can reduce the required
transmission bandwidth with a controlled amount of message distortion.
• Digital signals are more robust to channel impairments than analog signals.
– noise, co-channel and adjacent channel interference, multipath-fading.
– surface defects in recording media such as optical and magnetic disks.
• Higher bandwidth efficiency than analog signals.
• Data encryption and multiplexing is easier.
• Benefit from well known digital signal processing techniques.

• wireline channels, e.g., twisted copper pair, coaxial cable, power line
• fiber optic channels (optical communication is not considered in this course)
• wireless (radio) channels
– line-of-sight (satellite, land microwave radio)
– non-line-of-sight (cellular, wireless LAN, BAN, PAN)
• underwater acoustic channels (submarine communication)
• storage channels, e.g., optical and magnetic disks.
– communication from the present to the future.

For a given channel input s(t0), the channel output r(t0 ) is also a Gaussian
random variable with mean s(t0 ) and variance No W , n(t0) ∼ N (s(t0), NoW ).

Arbitrary reliability means that the probability of information bit error or bit
error rate (BER) can be made as small as desired.
The channel capacity depends on the channel impulse response or channel trans-
fer function, and the received bit energy-to-noise ratio (Eb/No ).

The input to the coding channel is the output of the channel encoder.
The output of the coding channel is the input to the channel decoder.
In practice, the coding channel inputs are often chosen from a digital modula-
tion alphabet, while the coding channel outputs are continuous valued decision
variables generated by sampling the corresponding matched filter outputs in the
receiver.

Observe that most uncoded modulation schemes operate about 10 dB from the
Shannon capacity limit for an error rate of 10−5.
State-of-the-art “turbo” coding schemes can close this gap to less than 1 dB,
with the cost of additional receiver processing complexity and delay.
