Due to the importance of the concept of independent discrete variable modification and the definition of discrete linear-time-invariant systems, Chapter 14 presents and discusses basic deterministic discrete-time signals and systems. These discrete signals, which are expressed in the form of functions, including the Kronecker delta function and the discrete rectangular pulse, are used throughout the book for deterministic discrete signal analysis. The chapter also presents the definition of the autocorrelation function and the explanation of the convolution procedure in linear-time-invariant systems for discrete-time signals in detail, due to the importance of these in the analysis and synthesis of discrete communication systems.

Due to the importance of the concept of independent variable modification, the definition of linear-time-invariant system, and their implications for discrete-time signal processing, Chapter 11 presents basic deterministic continuous-time signals and systems. These signals, expressed in the form of functions and functionals such as the Dirac delta function, are used throughout the book for deterministic and stochastic signal analysis, in both the continuous-time and the discrete-time domains. The definition of the autocorrelation function, and an explanation of the convolution procedure in linear-time-invariant systems, are presented in detail, due to their importance in communication systems analysis and synthesis. A linear modification of the independent continuous variable is presented for specific cases, like time shift, time reversal, and time and amplitude scaling.

Forensic analysis in this case involves the design of a communication system intended for use in Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) drive-thru lanes. This paper provides an overview of QSR communication system components and operation and introduces communication systems and channels. This paper provides an overview of non-linear, time-varying system design as contrasted with linear, time-invariant systems and discusses best design practices. It also provides the details of how audio quality was defined and compared for two potentially competing systems. Conclusions include that one of the systems was clearly inferior to the other — mainly due to not following design techniques that were available at the time of the project.

Chapter 15 presents a detailed analysis of discrete-time signals and systems in the frequency domain, including the theory of the discrete Fourier series, the discrete-time Fourier transform, and the discrete Fourier transform, and key examples relevant for the analysis and synthesis of signals processed in the discrete transceiver blocks of a communication system. Amplitude spectra, magnitude spectra, phase spectra, and power spectra are defined and calculated for typical signals. Using a unique notation that distinguishes between energy signals and power signals, the correlation function and power or energy spectral density functions are inter-related by proving the Wiener–Khintchine theorem. A comprehensive analysis of linear-time-invariant systems, using the notions of impulse responses, correlation functions, and power spectral densities for both power and energy signals, is presented. The basic theory of the z-transform is also presented.

Chapter 19 contains the theory of continuous-time stochastic processes, including their mathematical presentation in the time and frequency domains. The typical processes, including Gaussian, white noise, binary, and harmonic processes, are presented. A comprehensive analysis of stationary and ergodic processes and linear-time-invariant systems with stochastic inputs is presented. The processes are analysed in terms of their autocorrelation functions and power spectral densities, which are related via the Wiener–Khintchine theorem. This chapter is important for understanding the theory of digital communication systems. The notation used in this chapter complies with the notation used in other chapters of the book, which makes the book self-sufficient. For readers who are not familiar with continuous-time stochastic processes, it is highly advisable to read this chapter and become familiar with its notation, due to its importance for understanding the content of Chapters 3 to 9.

Chapter 12 presents a detailed analysis of continuous-time signals and systems in the frequency domain, including the theory of Fourier series and Fourier transforms, and key examples relevant for the analysis and synthesis of signals processed in the digital transceiver blocks of a communication system. The amplitude, magnitude, phase, and power spectra are defined and calculated for typical signals. In particular, the Fourier transform of periodic signals is presented, due to its importance in communication systems theory and practice. Using a unique notation that distinguishes energy and power signals, the correlation, power, and energy spectral density functions are inter-related by proving the Wiener–Khintchine theorem. A comprehensive analysis of a linear-time-invariant system, using the concepts of impulse response, system correlation function, and power spectral density, both for power signals and energy signals, is presented. In addition, Parseval’s theorem and the Rayleigh theorem are proven.
