Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is a very impressive introduction to wireless systems. Since I knew practically nothing before getting this book, and I was attempting to use Stuber, this book was a life saver.
There are many many diagrams that clearly show the affects of fading (ralyeigh, lognormal etc), as well as very clear derivations of how rayleigh is produced from two normal R.V.'s and so on.
I also really liked all the examples. There must be 15 examples per chapter (compared with 1 per chapter in Stuber, and his chapters are like 150 pages long).
To understand this book you will need a least one course in "signals and systems" as well as a course that deals with probability (up to Normal distributions and random variables and processes would also help you), and a course on modulation theory, such as quadrature and inphase components and power spectral density. If you have that background information you will really enjoy this book.
This book is even more of an introduction that Rappaport. By using this book and Rappaports together, you will have a fighting chance at terrible books like Stuber's.
Once again though, it was really refreshing to see a book written like this. Hey Dr. Shankar, why not write a thicker book to get Stubers book off the market?
