Good book , especially for those beginners in this amazing field.The book is easy understanding but there's missing the mathematical fundaments. I'ts like reading a magazine , i mean, it's a pleasure to read it 'cause you will never get bored ... it's really interesting. CDMA concepts are introduced in chapter 3 , while in chapter 2 you can see the AMPS system. You can also take a look in CDMA network design , CDMA handset characteristics , .... It's a complete book , but not too deep , that's my unique complaint. If you like acronymes , you can see at the end of the book , one of the most complete CDMA acronymes dictionary i've ever seen.

As an engineering graduate (BSEE) who recently entered the wireless communications industry, I found this to be a complete book that's easy to read & makes a complex technology understandable. Its my CDMA "bible". I highly recommend it!

This book has a decent amount of information and the authors appear to know the subject matter but unfortunately the typographical and grammatical errors make this book a chore to read. There are mistakes (spelling, missing words, grammar) on the order of one to three per _page_ through most of the book. Very frustrating. This book needs to desperately invest in an editor and try again.

The first thing I want to write is that there are about umteen thousand spelling/gramatical errors. I am not some english freak either. They just slap you in the face. Anyways... The information presented is a good intro into the CDMA world. Easy to understand.

This book provides a great overview of IS-95 CDMA technology. It has an easy to understand technology description and finally, it contains descriptions of the services and applications that I was looking for.
