3.0 out of 5 stars Errors Need Correcting, February 7, 2011

By 

RF Eng - See all my reviews

This review is from: RF and Digital Signal Processing for Software-Defined Radio: A Multi-Standard Multi-Mode Approach (Paperback)

Some obvious errors worry me. For instance, the equations in Section 7.3.1 (Loop Detector) are not consistent with the diagram of the system on which they are based: Figure 7.9 (the AGC Loop). One glaring problem is that a signal sample v(n) enters a delay z^-1 and comes out as a future sample v(n+1). This does not inspire confidence. Furthermore, trying to correct an author's errors while trying to learn the material is unwanted, extra and misapplied effort.
