Wcdma Design Handbook or Introduction to Python

WCDMA Design Handbook

Author: Andrew Richardson

Developed out of a successful professional engineering course, this practical handbook provides a comprehensive explanation of the Wideband CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) air interface of third generation UMTS cellular systems. The book addresses all aspects of the design of the WCDMA radio interface from the lower layers (RF and baseband processing) to the upper layers of the protocol architecture (non-access stratum and RRC layers). This is an ideal course book and reference for students and professional engineers.

Introduction to Python

Author: Guido Van Rossum

This manual provides an introduction to Python, an easy to learn object-oriented programming language.

Python combines power with clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level data types, and dynamic typing. Python can link directly to libraries written in C or C++ and can be embedded as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.

Python is free software. It can be used with GNU (GNU/Linux), Unix, Microsoft Windows and many other systems.

This is a printed copy of the official Python tutorial from the Python 2.5 distribution (updated November 2006). For each copy sold $1 is donated to the Python Software Foundation by the publisher.
