      Apart from the documents listed below, the slides on synchronization are mainly based on the book U. Mengali, A.N. D'Andrea, "Synchronization techniques for digital receivers," Plenum Press, 1997. This book is out of print but the same things can be found, e.g., in R.E. Blahut, ’’Modem theory. An introduction to telecommunications,” Cambridge University Press, 2010, •Chapters 7&8: Maximum likelihood and synchronization. It is Aalto library as an E-book.

      Digital signal processing part of the course is based on the book S.K. Mitra, "Digital signal processing: A computer-based approach". There are several hard copies of the book in Aalto library.

      Slides on maximum likelihood estimation are based on the book S.M. Kay, ""Fundamentals of statistical signal processing: Estimation theory


      • P. Prandoni, M. Vetterili, "Signal processing for communications
        • Theoretical treatment of communication systems.  This would be an excellent book in a more theoretical course
