This handy reference to communication theory for electrical engineers and engineering students summarizes definitions, basic facts, formulas, and equations in communication engineering in a user-friendly manner. The following key words indicate the topics covered in the book: random processes, autocorrelation, Markov process, Fourier transform, Fourier series, transfer functions, poles and zeros, white noise,  Gaussian  noise, communication channels, detection theory, amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, on-off keying, frequency-shift keying, and phase-shift keying.

The book is not written as a textbook. It is best suited for engineering students who want to review these topics. Even though the title includes the term “algorithms,” the book has nothing to do with computer algorithms.
