Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have invested all my efforts to understand what the authors are saying. Oops! I couldn't make it.
The authors have put together very little piece of work (compared with the amount of good work published in various journals/conferences etc), but the title of the book is really flamboyant, proving "much ado about nothing".
I do agree with some people on the review of other OFDM books about the poor FFT/IFFT explaination in this book. The book does not even have a nice system model which the readers can follow. Throughout the book, the authors provided only a birds-eye-view of the problem and the solutions (in all aspects of the system design). No analysis of whatsoever. The chapters are not even edited properly, as you can see some funny statements in the book (page.125, "Error! Objects cannot be created from editing field codes", page.54, "Error! Reference source not found").
This book is very similar, in spirit, to the books of Ramjee Prasad and Van Nee, and Heiskala and Terry. The authors have provided references to their own work, without considering the good works put up by the fellow researchers in OFDM.
Over all, this is one of the pathetic, over-priced books from Kluwer. My recommendation is: don't read it, even if you get this for free.
