May 17, 2011 at 23:23 comment added AngryEE Keep in mind there's plenty that you haven't even touched on: coding techniques for one. Reed-Solomon codes are an example - they're use in CDs. The basic idea is that a group of n bits is encoded into n+m bits. Codes are mainly used for error correction but can have other beneficial properties. They're sort of the other half of communication theory - so both halves would be waveforms and codes.
May 17, 2011 at 22:08 comment added Brandon Frohbieter Thank you for the thorough response. The part about the practical limitation (the difficulty in being able to distinguish the precise signal, considering errors, etc) was particularly helpful. It doesn't completely deter me though, I just have to determine a level at which the error rate is low but the base is high (at whatever level feasible). Thanks again for the answer.
