Summary: The Last word in CDMA
Review: Brilliant reference. All you ever wanted to know about CDMA but were afraid to ask
Rating:
Summary: Everything you need to know, answers all key questions.
Review: I spent weeks going through other texts, and I just ended up with more questions. This text poses all these questions up front in each chapter, then answers them as it presents the theory, usage and implementation details. Very well thought out and organized.

Summary: Book Description
Review: Strengthen your knowledge of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology, and build a solid understanding of the technical details and engineering design principles behind the robust new IS-95 digital cellular system standard with this comprehensive reference tool. Based upon the authors' high-impact international training seminars on CDMA system engineering technology, this book helps practicing cellular engineers better understand the technical elements associated with the CDMA system, and how they are applied to the IS-95 standard.Practicing engineers who work with CDMA cellular, PCS, and WLL systems should have this guide close at hand, but even if you're engineering background isn't CDMA-specific, you'll appreciate the book's easy-to-follow, tutorial approach to the technology. Packed with nearly 2,000 equations, and supported by clearly presented, easy-to-understand explanations and examples, it not only shows you how to apply real-world CDMA system design techniques such as cell planning and optimization -- it helps you understand the underlying reasons behind particular CDMA system design selections. Specifically, you learn... >Proven-under-fire techniques that help you assess system modulation and convolutional code performance, and optimize cellular system and Erlang capacity >How to design PN code generators for spread-spectrum applications, and how to use masks to control PN code phase >How you can use RAKE diversity combining techniques to combat fading >How to control CDMA forward link power allocation to help maximize system capacity An essential reference tool for CDMA system design engineers, service providers consultants, and technical managers, the book also equips R&D professionals with the knowledge they need to develop tools to enhance new or existing CDMA cellular, PCS, and WLL systems.

Summary: Excellent resource
Review: Takes you from knowing nothing about CDMA to having a good working knowledge. Very detailed so be prepared to spend some time with it. It is also good to have a copy of the IS-95 standard as well...helps to smooth the rough spots.

Summary: GEORGE KATSOULIS, PIREAS, GREECE
Review: The best book I have read in the topic, deserving the money I spent to get it. It is a valuable reference not only for CDMA communications, but generally for any digital communications topic. The authors face the reader as a normal human being, not as a genius. They give detailed explanations for almost everything. The depth of their analysis does not mean that the book does not treat the advanced topics of CDMA. On the contrary, the authors have found the magic way to gradually present more difficult topics, familiarizing the reader with them in an excellent manner. I wish the book had 2000 pages to carry every possible aspect in digital communications. Don't miss to include it in your library.

Summary: Excelent explanation of spreading, modulation and more
Review: This book is a very complete explanation of spread spectrum technics. The book is centered in IS-95 standard, but the detail in every subject makes it useful for other standards, like WCDMA and CDMA2000. After reading this book i feel that i can handle any spreading and codification technic. To get 3G to the real world, we need to handle the most inner principles of technology. With this book we have and excelent presentation of this principles, for the present and the future.

Summary: Exceptional
Review: This book is particularly best reference for research students working in the area of CDMA systems design or algorithm development. With extensive coverage, you will find any thing that you need to know about CDMA IS-95 systems.
Rating:
Summary: A perfect book for both newbie and guru
Review: This book not only clearly presents the CDMA/spread spectrum theories, but also structurally analyzes the reasons behind IS-95 standard from the system design perspective. As pointed by the other readers, this book is self-contained. However, if you already had a decent communications engineering background, you might find some parts of book are redundant. HIGHLY recommended!! A perfect CDMA book for both newbie and guru.
