My review after 1 year use,
By A Customer
This review is from: Information Transmission, Modulation and Noise (Hardcover)
I am doing master's in electrical eng., this book was good for me. But I think this is not a good starting point to understand the theory of the communication systems. I advice this book to at least master's degree people, since it gives all theory about a topic (e.g. Phase-Shift Keying) in one section including introduction, theory, implimentation and application. So, you are really expected to know some basics in communication theory already. It covers both analog and digital communication theory, but it's really good especially in digital. It uses generally analogy between analog and digital. Thus, it can't be used as a reference book easily. To understand this book, you must put a lot of effort and time to it. If you really wanna know these stuff (given in table of contents), it's worth to buy. Thanks for reading.

Still a thrill,

This review is from: Information Transmission, Modulation and Noise (Hardcover)
Schwartz is still at it. At 84 (and still listed at Columbia) he's no spring chicken but he's left a powerful legacy in Info Transmission and has a 2005 book out on wireless communication. What makes Info Transmission so thrilling is the way Schwartz tells the story. It's not often that technical texts of such dense topics are written with grace but Schwartz does it in a concept development process that somehow rings like a bell when the reader gets that ah-ha experience - and they're everywhere in this book. Books like these are the kind old men read in retirement when they visit the shelf, open the text and see once more that marginalia, read those elegant descriptions and turn back the clock to younger days, realizing the older they get the better they were. Schwartz is an old friend that's always there on the shelf inviting readers to take a break, to have fun one more time. His descriptions of that ubiquitous sinc function - required reading for all good Americans - is music. This reader isn't exactly sure how he does it - just what is it that makes the text flow so well - but I can only imagine just how thrilling it must have been to be in one of his classes.
