Reviews for The Communications Handbook

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. -Michael's Bookshelf An extensive revision of the first edition reflects many significant developments that have taken place in communications and electrical engineering over six years... Like its original release, this edition boasts an international list of contributors from industry and academic research centers... Serving as a dictionary, encyclopedia and reference work containing many bibliographic references, this volume stands out as a major tool because it can accompany textbooks and other resources or easily stand on its own as an authoritative work... This title should be available in at least one format in all academic libraries and large public libraries. -Julie Gelfand, University of California Irvine Science Library
