If you are taking a course or just interested on the principles of digital communications this is an excellent reference. Prof. Sklar explain in a very simple way many topics, solving very illustrative examples that complements your understanding of the subject. I use it along with Proakis' book and the results are improved.

I purchased this book for a class. I have found it too be very informative and I like that it provides a CD with some of the examples talked on the book.
"Excellent Description of a Digital Communication System"
I have followed Dr. Sklar's writing since 1982/83 when a two part article was presented in IEEE Communication Magazine. The tilte was "A Structural Overview od Digital Communication". I used that article in my understanding of the subject and delivered lectures to communication engineers in my presentations to them in 1985/86 time frame. At that time I guessed, and knew that Dr. Sklar would write a book on the subject and this article is actually an introduction to the subject. Then, in 1987, I did find this book (first Edition) and used it for further uderstanding of the subject. I was very happy. I was lucky to have this book in 1998 when I taught this course to MSEE class.The second edition along with Systemview is an excellent combination for teachers as well as for practicing engineers. I have loved this book and is always with me (even during holidays). After Dr. Shannon, Dr, Gallager, Dr. Wozencraft and Dr. Viterbi, and other contemporaries, I found Dr. Sklar giving a satisfactory expalanation on various aspects of Digital Communication. My salutations to Dr. Sklar. We communication engineers should be thankful to his efforts for such a presentation. This is an easy to understand and uses mathematical representations in an appropriate manner. Some of the explanations, like Bandwidth, and Probability of Error, etc. are excellent. I found the flow of chapters as lelegant as a sequence of music that appeals staightawy to the audience. As I love "A mathematical Theory of Communicarion" the same way I love this book.
Digital Communications: Fundamentals and Applications makes a fine addition to any signal processing engineer's library. Dr. Sklar manages to give a comprehensive view of the subject discussing Bandwidth Efficient Modulation, Bit Error Rates, Multiple Access signaling and a variety of other subjects. This book resides somewhere between upper division undergraduate and graduate level coursework. At this level, a certain amount of study is assumed, and this is an engineering textbook with derivations not listed for a variety of reasons (it is assumed that students are familiar with Fourier transforms and high level calculus. Information presented is for the purpose of Asic/FPGA/chip/software design with a lot of the formulas coming from industry definitions). The accompanying CD is fantastic and anyone looking to apply some of the knowledge with one of the best tools in the industry (Systemview) will find the CD invaluable.
This digital communication book is more readable than the Proakis' book. It explains concepts and theory in plain words. I particularly like the section of viterbi algorithm. Well illustrated diagrams too.
This book has lots of stuff scattered all over the place, without a good flow of development of theory of any kind. Important ideas and not so important ideas are all mixed up. The reader is not able to develop an systematic understanding from the ground up.
