This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth practical introduction to digital communications, from fundamental theory to state-of the-art material. It incorporates many practical examples of design issues. The book offers a broad perspective through a wide range of discussion topics, as well as basic background material. It covers a wide range of topics, including digital modulation; signal-space methods; coding; spread spectrum communications; digital cellular communications; and satellite communication link analysis. The book includes derivations as well as tables of special functions. It also provides applications of MATLAB programs useful in communication system design. A valuable reference book for professional communications engineers.?
The book has overall good coverage of the material. Explanations are clear, examples are plentiful and helpful. However, the book is full of errors! As I write there is a 13 page errata, but I ran into many unlisted errors as well. My only other complaint is the cheap paper-back binding. It curled up the first time I opened it, and I haven't been able to get the book to close ever since.
