This is one of those books that can be useful, but only in a limited way. In particular, I am biased towards books that not only instruct but can serve as future reference, and this book leaves you wanting in that area.
First, the positives. This book guides you step by step, enabling more capabilities as you go along. It is moderately paced and touches many essential topics in communications. Problems and solutions are clearly presented.
There are some negatives, however. The communication systems are not that “contemporary.” For example, key technologies such as OFDM are treated very sparingly. Furthermore, some of the Matlab code is not as useful as it seems at first sight.
If you are a student wishing to learn some basic fundamentals in communications while testing out the theory in Matlab, then this book can certainly be useful. If you want a good treatment of more contemporary systems such as OFDM, then this book is not for you. You can get some useful information initially, but the book’s value as a reference is limited. Soon you may find yourself like me and not be reaching for it that much.

An excellent computer approach to almost all aspects of communications in Electrical Engineering, that clarifies topics which are difficult to approach just by dealing with theory.

An excellent book for first-year graduate students. The different illustrative examples, with the MATLAB source code, makes learning, very simple and effective. The examples at the end of every chapter, reinforce what has been covered in the chapter. In short, a very useful text.
