In memory of the short long lives of my parents Charles and Sylvia and the long short lives of my sisters Alice, Theresa, and Lucy.

Go back in time until you can go no further,

For trillions of years if you must.

What do you see at this beginning?

You see a particle, or you see God.

Neither is more scientific, neither more religious.

Both involve a leap of faith beyond reason.

This book is dedicated to God, Who

In the beginning created the heavens and the earth.

Preface

If nature gives you a free lunch, you pay with your dinner.

This second edition of Communication Engineering Principles is a painstaking and comprehensive revision of the original publication, including several new chapters and a complete rewrite of some of the old chapters. I have remained faithful to the approach and philosophy that made the first edition so successful. It is an engineering‐first approach inspired by an engineering‐is‐fun philosophy. I have left no stone unturned to ensure complete clarity and to break complex concepts into their simple bite‐sized components for the benefit and enjoyment of every reader and tutor.

Communication Engineering Principles is aimed at undergraduate courses in communication engineering, digital communications, and signals and systems analysis. It is also suitable as preparatory material for MSc students and for researchers and practising engineers wishing to fully understand and apply the concepts and principles of the subject in their area of work. The book prioritises clarity and engineering insight above mathematical rigour, although maths is an essential tool that is used when necessary. Analogies, graphs, heuristic arguments, and numerous worked examples are used to deepen the reader's insight and hone their skills in problem solving and the correct interpretation and application of key concepts and principles.
