"Digital Communications: A Discrete-Time Approach by Michael Rice presents the traditional topics in digital communications such as modulation (PAM and QAM); detection (using the matched filer); and performance in AWGN. It also includes less traditional topics as pulse shaping; carrier phase synchronization; symbol timing synchronization; automatic gain control; channel selection and advanced discrete-time
