I made a living prototyping satellite receiver head for the Ku band dish, called LNB ,which converted 12GHz wave to 500MHz cable TV signal, in year 1998-1999 and got an MS in Computer Science in UML in year 2001. I didn't know about Multisim in year 1999. In year 1999, the simulators, such as Eagleware, that displayed simulated vector network analyzer screen (the smith chart) were strictly RF-only simulators.
Today I went to MIT bookstore to read a book about cable Internet and browsed ... Read More
Rating:  - Modern Electronic Communication 9th edition
As an instructor of this curriculum, I am impressed with the improvements made in this edition from the 7th edition. I like Multisim, but nothing replaces a real world hands on lab. The examples need to consistently show the step-by-step mathematical derivation of the formulas used. In a pure EE curriculum the students will have no problem with this, but in an EET environment, the student may be removed from their math classes by a few years. The consistent step-by-step mathematical derivations would ... Read More
Rating: - Good
For me this is a good book to own. Plenty of examples and problems to solve.
Rating:  - Poorly organized, few good real world examples.
I have no idea why my professor chose this book. He had a list of typos that we had to beware of and several of the chapter questions had incorrect answers. Only buy this book if you are required by a class, otherwise look for a more intuitive and better organized text.
Rating:  - Too dense in a too small package
Some of the hardest and most complex circuits and schematics are not explained at all. Only the simplest things seem easy to understand. The author never demonstrates the equations or where they come from. The author assumes that the reader is a working engineer of technician that needs this book to remember the basics of communication electronics. Definitely not a recommended book to support an introductory course to communications.
