4.0 out of 5 stars Becoming a bit out of date, but still a decent overview!, October 15, 2001

By 

Syed Z. Hosain (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Mobile Cellular Telecommunications: Analog and Digital Systems (Hardcover)

I had provided an earlier review of this book, so this is more
of an additional comment.

The copy I have is still one of the ones I start with to get a
basic overview of the subject matter. It is starting to get a
bit out of date, yes, but still a decent read. Again, it has some
grammatical errors (as pointed out by another reviewer), but
that is not essential to the content. Also, PCS was (and still
is to some degree) too "new" at the time this was written
to be included and this should not be held against the author.

As I have mentioned before, to dive into detail requires a copy
of the relevent standards (expensively available from Global
Engineering), so this kind of overview has a place on the shelf
- for quick basic checks, if nothing else!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent overview of cellular communications, February 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mobile Cellular Telecommunications: Analog and Digital Systems (Hardcover)

This is an excellent overview of the various cellular communication technologies in use today. The text has a good blend of general information about Analog AMPS, TDMA and CDMA, and also provides enough detail about each of these technologies to be very useful as an overview text (complete detail usually requires a perusal of the relevant EIA/TIA standards so I do not expect any text to provide that degree of information.) Please note I have only skimmed the radio and antenna sections of this book and cannot comment on those chapters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliability Analisis, March 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Mobile Cellular Telecommunications: Analog and Digital Systems (Hardcover)

I use this book as support in my job studing the reliability of an Analog Cellular System. It include's excelents reviews of AMPS, TDMA, CDMA and GSM Digital systems. Also i think it can be used in the Teaching of Cellular systems at College and University.
