Probability and Random Processes

The authors have focussed on creating a more level presentation and have developed more pertinent applications to signal processing and communications, clearly the two areas of most interest to students and instructors in this course

Focuses on creating a clear presentation of foundational concepts with specific applications to signal processing and communications. This title is suitable for graduate students as well as practicing engineers, and includes chapters on narrowband random processes and simulation techniques.Probability and Random Processes, Second Edition presents pertinent applications to signal processing and communications, two areas of key interest to students and professionals in today's booming communications industry. The book includes unique chapters on narrowband random processes and simulation techniques. It also describes applications in digital communications, information theory, coding theory, image processing, speech analysis, synthesis and recognition, and others. Exceptional exposition and numerous worked out problems make this book extremely readable and accessible. The authors connect the applications discussed in class to the textbook. The new edition contains more real world signal processing and communications applications. It introduces the reader to the basics of probability theory and explores topics ranging from random variables, distributions and density functions to operations on a single random variable. There are also discussions on pairs of random variables; multiple random variables; random sequences and series; random processes in linear systems; Markov processes; and power spectral density. This book is intended for practicing engineers and students in graduate-level courses in the topic.
