For subjects in communication electronics, Roddy and Coolen have updated the book across the board and have suggested computer applications for problem-solving where appropriate. Pitch on a par with Tomasi, especially in use of mathematical formulas.

From the Publisher:

This comprehensive introduction to electronic communications explores the fundamental concepts -- and their state-of-the-art application in radio, telephone, facsimile, television, satellite, and fiber optic communications. It features an explanatory as well as descriptive approach, avoids lengthy mathematical derivations, and introduces the use of Mathcad for problem solving in selected areas.

From the Back Cover:

The major additions to the fourth edition are new chapters on digital signals and digital communications. Many of the other chapters have been considerably expanded, and new problem sets have been added. Mathcad1 has been introduced as a tool for problem solving, but the problems are formulated in such a way that these can be solved using other computer packages, or a good calculator.
