Cooters - Text Book reco's: My reco for a fairly complete summary of the theory of digital RF communications is John Proakis' book "Digital Communications". It is well written, the flow is pretty good (e.g. it starts with the basics) and it provides some 'feel'. However, it is long (900 pages - at least two different classes to get through it all), and it is loaded with equations. Also, it does not cover RF propagation in much depth, nor does it deal with RF equipment like tuners or upconverters (although, by definition it does deal with how the information sits on the RF since that is the heart of digital comm.). Clark PS Proakis only touches on CDMA and the theory (10 pages or so). CDMA by itself often takes up another whole textbook, but it won't make a lot of sense without some of the background. (CDG has far and away the best non-technical overview of CDMA. No need to buy a textboook if that is all you want.)
