This text uses the principles of discrete-time signal processing to introduce and analyze digital communications – connecting continuous-time and discrete-time ideas. The text brings under one cover the theoretical and practical issues from discrete-time signal processing, discrete-time filter design, multi-rate discrete-time processing, estimation theory, signal space analysis, numerical algorithms – all focused on digital communications. A useful reference for programmers.

Good, but with serious typos

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2009

Verified Purchase

Having just read the first couple of chapters and some of chapter 3, I'd have to say that the book is well-written and explains things well, and is well organized, but suffers from a large number of annoying typos. It makes me wonder if an editor even proofread it. While most of the typos are harmless annoyances, a few of them really do cause confusion and make it difficult to see what he's saying. Hopefully there will be a second edition that fixes these annoying mistakes.

Good information, bad book

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2013

I have used this book as the textbook for my digital communications class for a month now. The author is good at relaying information. However, I purchased the paperback version and it has already started to fall apart. I have two classes this year with paperback books. Both are on the same day so both books receive the same treatment. This one has two cracks in its spine and pages falling out. The other book looks fine. I am disappointed that an otherwise great book is useless because it is so poorly made.

Please note that the author has published an errata on the web that addresses all the typos. If you search for "digital communications discrete time errata", you'll find it.

I have had the book for 3 weeks and the binding is already broken and pages are falling out. This is ridiculous

Digital Communications: A Discrete Time Approach

The first textbook of its kind. The author treats digital communications and digital signal processing as an integrated topic. It is well organized and illustrated. Ideal for the working engineer.

With out typos, it's excelent. But the errors kill it.

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2011

This book is so poorly edited that it is impossible to read. A page that should take 2 minutes to read takes 10 because there are so many confusing typos and errors that you have to stop and think about what the author /meant/ to say. Worse yet are the cases where the errors are so bad that you can't even figure out what was intended (unless you already knew the material).

To summarize: This book has a SNR of 0dB. The information is there, it just can't be reconstructed.

On a side note, I think the Third edition (It's so bad I don't even think they can fix it in a second edition) will be an excellent book.

A communications book in a good balance between theory and practice

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2008

Nowadays, the digital communications systems are implemented in digital signal processing platforms. The pure discrete-time approach is the trend for every communication engineer and researcher. Dr. Rice is a well-known scholar in telecommunications. His textbook establishes the necessary background, starting from random process and probabilities, to faciliate a clear and insightful view of the practical digital communication systems.

For communication textbooks, the integration of subsystems is very challenging to any author in this special area. However, Dr. Rice is doing a great job in such an organization. His homework problems can help students really be familiar with each subsystem. I would highly recommend this new book for both undergraduate and graduate courses in digital communications.
