With exceptionally clear writing, Lathi takes students step by step through a history of communications systems from elementary signal analysis to advanced concepts in communications theory. The first four chapters of the text present basic principles, subsequent chapters offer ample material for flexibility in course content and level. All Topics are covered in detail, including a thorough treatment of frequency modulation and phase modulation. Numerous worked examples in each chapter and over 300 end-of-chapter problems and numerous illustrations and figures support the content.
I just started reading and the book is really good. It's really hard to find a book on telecommunication having a comprehensive language which I have been through. The book is good as I already said and I recommend it for the beginner who doesn't have any background in telecommunication (just like mine).
this book is good , i personally found it the best book especially for beginners ,everything is easy and clear ,there were some mistakes but its already corrected in the fourth edition .
This is somewhat difficult for beginners in the field, like me! However, I liked (and found very helpful) the many illustrative diagrams and the verbose/lengthy writing style.
While it's never really fun to read a textbook, Lathi interjects just enough quirkiness to make his books more enjoyable. Better than that, his writing is very clear. This a good book for an introduction to communications systems.
