I spent some time reading the later chapters which are what I'm fuzziest on. It's nice to have the python code there. I do overall think this is a good resource. However, the hand-waviness of the specifics gets to me. The author even admits at one point that there was theory behind choosing specific constants that they won't get into. But they don't say how I can figure that out. Did example, if I know my preamble length and maximum frequency offset, how do I choose loop parameters to lock on within the needed time but stay stable? I have no clue. Would've been nice to get pointed in the right direction.
- sevensor 10mo agoI would like to see references out to less hand wavy material. It’s a free resource, so I’m not going to complain too hard. Gnarly windowing effects on the square wave example in the first chapter; I do think if you’re going to show something like that, you should show that it’s dependent on sample rate and duration. Maybe that’s coming later in the text. To be fair, the perfect train of sinusoids you get in a linear systems class is equally unrealistic.

Would've been nice to get pointed in the right direction. It's heresy to suggest such a thing around here: but, seriously: ask an LLM. Everybody now has access to their own personal graduate-level TA. Use it. The learning process, from this point forward, is all about learning to ask the right questions.
