Digital and Analog Communication Systems by K. Sam Shanmugan

Digital and Analog Communication Systems by K. Sam Shanmugan

Book Description
Provides a detailed, unified treatment of theoretical and practical aspects of digital and analog communication systems, with emphasis on digital communication systems. Integrates theory—keeping theoretical details to a minimum—with over 60 practical, worked examples illustrating real-life methods. Emphasizes deriving design equations that relate performance of functional blocks to design parameters. Illustrates how to trade off between power, band-width and equipment complexity while maintaining an acceptable quality of performance. Material is modularized so that appropriate portions can be selected to teach several different courses. Includes over 300 problems and an annotated bibliography in each chapter.

Embedded Multitasking: With Small Microcontrollers (Free PDF Download)

Embedded Multitasking: With Small Microcontrollers (Free PDF Download)

Book Description
In an embedded system, firmware is the software that directly interfaces with the microcontroller, controlling the system’s function. The major forces driving the embedded firmware development process today are reduced development times, increased complexity, and the need to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. These forces translate into strenuous design requirements for embedded engineers and programmers. Many low-level embedded microcontroller designs have insufficient memory and/or architectural limitations that make the use of a real-time operating system impractical. The techniques presented in this book allow the design of robust multitasking firmware through the use of interleaved state machines. This book presents a complete overview of multitasking terminology and basic concepts. Practical criteria for task selection and state machine design are also discussed.
