I spent weeks going through other texts, and I just ended up with more questions. This text poses all these questions up front in each chapter, then answers them as it presents the theory, usage and implementation details. Very well thought out and organized.

The best book I have read in the topic, deserving the money I spent to get it. It is a valuable reference not only for CDMA communications, but generally for any digital communications topic. The authors face the reader as a normal human being, not as a genius. They give detailed explanations for almost everything. The depth of their analysis does not mean that the book does not treat the advanced topics of CDMA. On the contrary, the authors have found the magic way to gradually present more difficult topics, familiarizing the reader with them in an excellent manner. I wish the book had 2000 pages to carry every possible aspect in digital communications. Don't miss to include it in your library.

This book not only clearly presents the CDMA/spread spectrum theories, but also structurally analyzes the reasons behind IS-95 standard from the system design perspective. As pointed by the other readers, this book is self-contained. However, if you already had a decent communications engineering background, you might find some parts of book are redundant.

HIGHLY recommended!! A perfect CDMA book for both newbie and guru.

Takes you from knowing nothing about CDMA to having a good working knowledge. Very detailed so be prepared to spend some time with it. It is also good to have a copy of the IS-95 standard as well...helps to smooth the rough spots.

Artech house is the best publisher of CDMA books on the planet, hands down

This book is a very complete explanation of spread spectrum technics. The book is centered in IS-95 standard, but the detail in every subject makes it useful for other standards, like WCDMA and CDMA2000. After reading this book i feel that i can handle any spreading and codification technic. To get 3G to the real world, we need to handle the most inner principles of technology. With this book we have and excelent presentation of this principles, for the present and the future.

Brilliant reference. All you ever wanted to know about CDMA but were afraid to ask

This book was not intended as a communication theory text, but it does a great job of providing the basic results in an organized fashion. It serves as a good reference for me for CDMA related issues, or channel models and fading/diversity analysis.

Definitely recommend the book if you can find one at a decent price. Five stars is granted for the reference use of this book, this should not be a first timers' textbook.

Artech House books are usually packed with errors, since there is no serious review process. But refreshingly this book does not come with a big pack of errata despite the large content. Congradulations to the authors...

This book is particularly best reference for research students working in the area of CDMA systems design or algorithm development. With extensive coverage, you will find any thing that you need to know about CDMA IS-95 systems.
