I have found this text an appropriate, to the point, with adequate mathematics. It is much better than the other book "Communication Systems" by the same author. However, for certain details one has to refer back to the other book(s) from Lathi, Couch, Proakis, Stern, Carlson, and Zeimer, etc. When following this book, the students also find this book useful. However, if it was supported with MATLAB codes from within the text, (or available on the web site)it would have been highly appreciable. Currently this book seems to be a very good choice for a first course in Communication Systems. I request the publisher to make available the solution manual on the web as free resource. |
