Abstract
The objective of a communication system is to send information from a transmitter to a receiver. Therefore, the transmitter has to be appropriately designed in order to send signals with adequate power levels, and the receiver has to be able to receive a signal and extract the message. In this book we will focus on the receiver part of the communication chain. Therefore, this chapter will present a brief overview of this system, providing the main performances and parameters for each block included.
