Space-Time Coding

Rating:
Summary: An Outstanding Effort!!!
Review: The author has endeavored to explain a very difficult topic in simplistic terms. Each word is well chosen and carefully weighted and the chapters are extremely well structured. The author has avoided taking the reader for granted and has explained every mathematical step and assumption. The topics are built up in a logical manner, one step leading to the next. The chapters on space-time trellis coding and space-time block coding are superb!!!The author has also dealt with advanced topics like differential space-time block codes and space-time turbo-trellis codes in a cogent manner.I recommend this book to engineers, students and researchers alike. It is my personal belief and I guarantee that you will not regret purchasing it!! I know something about these topics, having been a communication research engineer for some 20 years. Very clearly the author has brought to bear her very considerable teaching experience in the making of this book. Doubts from readers are very well anticipated and answered. The best part of this book is that obscure and very often confusing technical jargon has been studiously avoided and the author has kept everything very simple!!!
