Preface
In communications engineering, source coding is the first step of processing input signals before transmission. The main focus of source coding is to: • Identify • Quantify • Band limit • Convert analog signals into digital format The next step after source coding is to use: • Forward error control coding (FECC) to detect and correct errors • A suitable modulation scheme to transmit the modulated signal through an antenna. Figure 1 illustrates the process. At the transmit side, the source coding is referred to as encoder. At the receive side, it is referred to as source decoder. It is a reverse process, which is not shown in the figure. In this book, source coding is discussed in detail. Later books in this series will cover FECC and modulation. Presented in this book are the salient concepts, underlying principles, and practical applications of source coding. In particular, this book will address the following topics as related to source coding: • Identification and characterization of input signals such as analog signal, digital signal, and noise • Signal-to-noise ratio and its effects in communication channel
