The Book Does Teach the Subject
9 May 2006
Format:Paperback
Contrary to the other reviewers claim, this book does teach you the basics of analog and digital communications. Hwei P. Hsu explains the basic fundamental principles better than any text written. I believe strongly that if a person studies from this book, they will have a strong foundation of the subject matter. Also they will see the big picture as oppose to getting lost in details. If one learns the main principles and concepts, and study the worked out examples, they will be able to solve the problems in most texts. Hwei P. Hsu has three excellent books, Signals and Systems, Probabilty and Random Processes, and Analog and Digital Communications.

Truly excellent book for communication engineering students
7 Sep 2002
Format:Paperback
Let me start by saying this book WILL NOT TEACH YOU Analog and Digital communication.
Like most Schaum's books it quickly scans over what you need to know.
That being said, this is truly an amazing book. I have used this book so often that I need to buy it again (newsprint pages).
There are so many example problems on AM/FM/PM, pulse shaping that you just have to understand it.
However the REAL POWER OF THIS BOOK starts at chapter 5. The entire chapter reviews basic Probability and Random Variables and gives around 50 worked out examples.
Chapter 6 is on Random Signals and Noise. Another excellent excellent EXCELLENT chapter. It covers (AUTO)CORRELATION, (AUTO)COVARIANCE, time averages, ensemble averages, Wide and Strict Sense Stationary, Power Spectral Densities from taking the Fourier transform of your autocorrelation function as well as 35 fully worked out problems.
Finally chapter 7 is on Performance in the presence of noise which very nicely wraps up the last 2 chapters with the first 4. AWGN channels with AM/FM/PM systems as well as optimum receivers and there are 32 worked out problems.
Chapter 8 is on information coding and covers everything from source, entropy, channel and error control coding.
In a nutshell this book fills in the blanks of 6 graduate level texts I have on the above subjects.
I highly recommend this book to any communication engineer, but don't forget that Schaum's books do not teach you the material, they simply apply it.

Great for reference
1 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
The Shaum's series are great for any student to use as additional study aids and for reference. I used this mostly for reference during some other classes as well. (Comunications thoery, Signal proceesing theory, etc) Don't expect it to teach you the topics from scratch, you must be vaguely familiar with the terminology and what to look for.
