One of the better textbooks I've had to read for my electronics certificate. The practice questions after each chapter were great and where I spent the most time in this book. There are answers in the back, too. For every question - not just odd numbers or whatever textbooks tend to do.

The book is lacking in a few areas though:
- Seriously outdated. Lots of 90s-relevant information on satellites, cellphones, etc.
- Walls of text. Chapters would benefit from a better layout. Please help me identify important information!
- MIL-standardese. Formal military language will be utilized without reason. (ow)
