Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a wonderful guide to general aspects of communications. I knew next to nothing about communications prior to reading this, but it gave me a broad understanding quickly. I think the section about systems, the fourier transform, and complex sine waves is too heavy for an intelligent beginner. I learned much more about these topics through differential equations books, digital signal processing, and signals and systems books. I especially like the section about coding theory.
