This review is from: Satellite Communications for the Nonspecialist (SPIE Vol. PM128) (Spie Press Monograph) (Hardcover)

It's a very succinct and provides a good engineering sense without any mathematical mess or hard work.

I recommend this to any "nonspecialist". it's a good book for any interesting engineers too.
