Summary: Extensive in-depth science and technical applications
Comment: Now in an updated second edition, The Communications Handbook is an extensive, scholarly, professional level resource to the practical applications of electrical engineering technology for telephones, communication networks, data recording, source compression, and much more. The Communications Handbook is strongly recommended as being an utterly exhaustive reference resource which is packed from cover to cover with extensive in-depth science and technical applications.
Rating: 3
Summary: Good as a reference source, but most articles are very basic
Comment: It comprises 49 articles (14 regarding basic principles of radio transmission, and 35 regarding wireless systems). The articles regarding basic principles are fine, covering from analog modulation, to spread spectrum. They are more than enough for most students and engineers. However, the second part, is a little bit obsolete, and very general. Some specific mobile technologies are overviewed, but thsi is not enough to have the complete picture of a mobile network. It will be a great book for reference in any library, but not for learning mobile communications seriously.

Summary: The big book of telecommunications
Comment: Don't waste your time with any other book on telecommunications. Choose this one. The book has extensive, well-written information covering so many aspects of telecommunications that it would be difficult to say that anything was left out. There is good coverage of the newer ATM and SONET technologies, although Internet (TCP/IP) is just glossed over and video is covered briefly. I found lots of info on fiber optics, wireless (hundreds of pages for each) and satellite transmissions. You'll need a calculus background for the equations, of which there are many in sections on modulation, compression, transmission, and speech/coding. Other sections have less or no mathematics, for those not so inclined, and coverage is good on networks, principles of telephony, standards like ISO, CCITT, and two extra chapters on data recording onto magnetic/optical media. Small details are not left out -- things like channel coding, coversion to digital, echo cancelers, even how to splice and join fiber optic cables. Each chapter ends with a glossary of terms and references for further reading. Reading this book -- and it is a substantial read, not something for a weekend, but more like the whole summer -- gave me an appreciation for the intricacies of telecommunications that I hadn't had before -- and I've 15 years experience in the industry. It is well worth the high price, and well worth reading if you need or want details on telecom. Highly recommended for anyone with an engineering or technical background as well.
