Editorial Reviews

For engineers and technicians needing a comprehensive introduction to GSM, the global system for mobile communications, which is a digital cellular radio system. Though the material is rigorous enough for a thorough first-pass description of the system, it is also general enough for project managers newly assigned to a GSM project who need to make analyses and decisions. Emphasis is on practical matters, particularly testing issues. Coverage also includes details on important competitive systems such as the North American digital cellular system (NADC or D-AMPS) and the code-division multiple access (CDMA) system. Annotation c.
