Good Refernce book
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3
Good reference book. It provids concepts and material important for graduate studies and industry. I recommand it.

Little bit disappoint
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3
This has many typos, which can be frustrating in following the context. And I found out that the typos are different to other 2nd editions. Little bit disappointing.

A very technical book
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
I recommend this book for anyone pursuing a Certification like CWNA, CWNP or other wireless certifications. The technical concepts which are at the core of design, implementation, research, and invention of wireless communication systems are presented in an order that is conducive to understanding the general concepts, as well as those specific to current and evolving wireless communication systems and standards.
The Author has done a great job of explaining Radio wave propagation which has historically been the most difficult problem to analyze and design for, since unlike a wired communication system which has a constant, stationary transmission channel (i.e., a wired path), radio channels are random and undergo shadowing and multipath fading, particularly when one of the terminals is in motion. I particularly liked the chapter on modeling spatial-temporal channels, which is vital for the development of smart antennas and position location systems.
The appendices contain hundreds of mathematical formulas and identities for general engineering work.
The compilation of the major wireless standards makes this book particularly useful as a single source of information for a wide range of wireless systems that are commercially deployed today.
I gave this book 4 stars as I feel that the problems included in the book should have the answers as well.

One of the Best Book
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
This is one of the best book for this field!

Unorganized textbook
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
this book is not good for the beginner in wireless communication. I have to use this textbook, because it's the requirement form my instructor.

the author didn't organize this book as well as he should. All equations are not well explained...Sometime the students need to guess where this variable stands for or what parameter's meaning is. He wrote like the literature or drama.....no space for equation's explanation...all of them are in the same paragrah.

i really don't recommend this textbook and i still don't understand why my instructor uses this text
