Summary: Good book, precise, complete!.
Review: Good book. Dr. Stuber was my teacher at Georgia Tech. At that time we were using Proakis book (Digital Comm.), yet, I always went back to this concise book for precise information on those confuse subjects like adaptive filtering. It's full of formulas and theory; it covers adaptive filtering including MLSE, Viterbi, and algorithm like the Steepest Descent or the practical MLS. It is not a Filtering book, yet it does covers the essentials. It covers Modulation and Demodulation, Detection, Estimation, Fading channels etc etc. It is a good reference book writing by a pioneer in the field. I do recommend this great book for a complete engineer's library. In fact I have just purchase the new edition. Thank you Dr. Stuber.

Summary: ***BEWARE: Errors on 2nd ed.
Review: I have no problem with the content, but with the layout.
The chapter numbers are not a the top of the pages and the
section numbers are not prefixed with the chapter number. For example, chap. 2, section 1, subsection 1 is listed
as 1.1 in the second chapter. It would not be such a big
deal if the chapter number were printed at the top of the
page, but it's not! It makes it quite frustrating when looking
for a section in the book. Stick with the first edition (1996)

Summary: Not Useful for the Practicing Engineer
Review: This was one of two text books used by a professor of mine in a wireless communications class. Content-wise, this book is not useful to anyone interested in really learning how wireless comm systems work. There is way too much theorey and mathematical proofs in this book and not enough hands on material for the practicing engineer. Our class found numerous typos in the book too. The Wireless Communications book by Rappaport is more useful.
