Customer Reviews

Excellent undergraduate text for communication systems.
I bought this book as a reference for my second semester course in communications. Although I like Haykin's book very much, I believe Proakis handles digital comm. more thoroughly. After the first exam, my contemporaries started asking to borrow it!

Another Proakis great
Proakis has done it again with his newest textbook, "Communication Systems Engineering." This book is an invaluable reference and learning tool. It will remain on my desk as long as the desk is there!
