1.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Mathematics, September 8, 2004

Dr. Clemens Cap - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: OFDM Wireless LANs: A Theoretical and Practical Guide (Paperback)

I cannot understand how this book can get reviews with more than 1 star given the number of mathematical errors it contains.

Ok, it IS a nice intro. But do not rely on the formulas !

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book on OFDM WLANs, May 16, 2003

Gavin Yeung (UCLA, Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: OFDM Wireless LANs: A Theoretical and Practical Guide (Paperback)

This is by far the best book on the topic that I have read. The book is perfect for someone who has a very strong CS background but is interested in understanding physical layer issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on OFDM for the money, February 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: OFDM Wireless LANs: A Theoretical and Practical Guide (Paperback)

This book is an excellent text that is suitable for experts and novices alike. Its coverage of the fundamentals of OFDM transmission makes it applicable to those who want to learn about the IEEE 802.11a and HiperLAN/2 standards as well as the recently drafted IEEE 802.11g. The examples and illustrations provided in the text are clear and concise and really helped me to better understand some of the concepts that other texts failed to cover adequately. I especially liked the practical exercises and examples. I found this to be extremely useful during my self-study since I haven't found the time to enroll in a class on WLANs. I grade the overall quality of the book as *****.
