5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for Communication

2.0 out of 5 stars Skips through important concepts too quickly

I am using this book in 2 courses - Signals & Random Processes, and Digital Transmission. Although the material is very in-depth, unless you already know the material and just need a refresher, you will probably find out that it's very hard to follow what the authors say. If I was relying on this book alone, I wouldn't have understood a thing.

They jump from one major topic to another on the same page without explaining the concepts in depth. There are very few examples to help you understand the concepts.

If you have the choice, I would recommend against this book and would recommend John Wiley's Introduction to Analog & Digital Communications, or a book with the same title by Michael Fitz.
