This book introduces Python as a programming tool for general communications systems and is the essential reference for developing code libraries that accurately model them. The book builds a bottom-up approach for engineers who are interested in developing their skills in Python, with topics covering the fundamental development environment, modulation, transmission, implementations of digital signal processing and machine learning, amongst others. Readers will also learn how to properly prepare the environment and scalable programming for computational efficiency and runtime speed. Design examples are provided in each chapter from first principles that readers can use as a base for their future projects.
