  Arrived for only one book, it was not set.
  Was a very good used, but different.. I was kept there in solitaire for a few months until my release, and it was an eerie place.
  
  I had the whole floor to myself, except for staff. When you read his book, you will agree with me. I particularly liked the chapter on modeling spatial-temporal channels, which is vital for the development of smart antennas and position location systems.
  
  The appendices contain hundreds of mathematical formulas and identities for general engineering work.
  
  The compilation of the major wireless standards makes this book particularly useful as a single source of information for a wide range of wireless systems that are commercially deployed today.
  
  I gave this book 4 stars as I feel that the problems included in the book should have the answers as well.
