Product details

It comprises 49 articles (14 regarding basic principles of radio transmission, and 35 regarding wireless systems). The articles regarding basic principles are fine, covering from analog modulation, to spread spectrum. They are more than enough for most students and engineers. However, the second part, is a little bit obsolete, and very general. Some specific mobile technologies are overviewed, but thsi is not enough to have the complete picture of a mobile network. It will be a great book for reference in any library, but not for learning mobile communications seriously.
I am a 3rd year student earning a degree in Electronic Engineering. Our library has just bought this book. I am the first one to borrow it. In the past, I had to read a couple of books to understand one subject. Now, this would be enough. Although it is big and expensive for a student, but it is a very good book to read.
I used this book originally to learn about Optical Communication (fibre, sources, detectors etc...). I am in very good form of getting a First Honour on this subject.
A truly exhaustive reference. Essential in all facets of communications. As a patent attorney, I thank God for Gibson.
