Summary: Indepth theory and aplication of wireless systems & devices
Comment: As a highly informative book relating to all aspects of wireless communications it is an invaluable reference for telecommunications and electrical engineering majors. I recommend a prerequisite in basic communications and a strong mathematical understanding of calculus II and differential equations. The book covers all aspects of wireless communications including IR, Microwave, Satellite, Fiber, Cellular, PMC, wireless networks, propagation models, and Spread Spectrum CDMA. Engineers and technologists that are interested in the field of telecommunications will gain a competitive edge though the information contained in this book

Summary: Pretty light
Comment: If I had not seen the Gorden Stuber book I would have given this book only 1 star. However in comparison, it does deserve at least 2.
This book has all the stuff you would want in a wireless text book. It covers fading, Rayleigh, Rician, GSM, AMPS etc. My major complaint with the book is THERE ARE NO EXAMPLES. Per chapter there are probably 3 or 4 examples, but none of them are really challenging.
For instance in the fading chapter, the examples are on coherence time only. How about a couple examples that actually use the fading PDF's/CDF's. We spend so much time "discussing" the distributions, maybe it is time we actually use the distributions?
Compared to "Principles of Mobile Communication" the book is marginally better. For one it is not as heavy on the math, and it does a better job explaining pretty well everything.
However.. I feel I learned far more from Shankar's wireless book in undergrad.
Rating: 2
Summary: Unorganized textbook
Comment: this book is not good for the beginner in wireless communication. I have to use this textbook, because it's the requirement form my instructor.
the author didn't organize this book as well as he should. All equations are not well explained...Sometime the students need to guess where this variable stands for or what parameter's meaning is. He wrote like the literature or drama.....no space for equation's explanation...all of them are in the same paragrah.
i really don't recommend this textbook and i still don't understand why my instructor uses this text
