{PDF} Software Radio: A Modern Approach to Radio Engineering Jeffrey H. Reed

I usually expect any book coming out of a university to be highly theoretical and math-centric, but this book is neither. It’s a clear exposition of software radio concepts and issues, with a great deal of attention paid to signal generation and processing. Unlike another reviewer, I was happy to see 70 pages devoted to smart antennas, since any multi-protocol transceiver operating in the GHz range is going to need them. The exposition is clear, well developed and well written. More editing would have helped, but overall highly recommended.
