I think you'll find that software radio really spans many disciplines: mathematics, software engineering, signal processing, electronics, program able hardware (VHDL), digital logic, and communication theory to name some. There is also is overlap between the subjects. An 800 page book is really only a small view in to a really large body of knowledge.

There even some nice diagrams that help you understand the LAPLACE transform in 3D. It has an excellent balance of Text, Visualizations, and mathematics. If you buy a used one, you won't feel so cheated if you discover it's not for you. Your local library may have this book. > I'd need a > formula-free book (pseudo-code or actual code is > welcome, of course), There really isn't any pseudo-code but there are lots of diagrams with text that explains them very well. I've yet to find a formula-free book on the subject (that is of any use). That said, learning how to connect visual representations (graphs, diagrams, etc) with mathematical expressions is really important. That skill will allow you to read more complex material (that may not have great illustrations). > one that is written by a person who knows how to > write (literature-wise)... The book is well written (as far as technical books go) but I don't think a technical book has ever been considered for a "GENERAL NON-FICTION Pulitzer Prize". :) Good Luck, Daniel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
