RF engineers are at the forefront in radio, telecommunications, space technology, avionics, optical communications, radar, navigation, medical electronics and computers. Ian Hickman's Practical RF Handbook is well established as a hands-on guide for engineers, technicians, students and enthusiasts working in RF design. The author's own radio engineering background means that he really talks the language of an engineer, with an awareness of the difficulties and pitfalls faced in RF design, and using a minimum of maths to get his point across. The structure of the book is methodical and comprehensive, covering all the key topics in RF: analogue design principles, transmission lines, transformers, couplers, amplifiers, oscillators, modulation, transmitters and receivers, propagation and antennas. New sections and major updates in the third edition include: RF ICs, DBMs, SAW filters, integrated power amplifier modules, active arrays, use of network analysers, and a completely new chapter on digital filtering A practical introduction to modern RF circuit design. Covers passive components and circuits, RF transmission lines, RF transformers, oscillators, RF small-signal amplifiers, modulation and demodulation, and antennas. Revised new edition. Paper. DLC: Radio circuits - Design and construction - Handbooks, manuals, etc. New sections and major updates in the third edition include: RF ICs, DBMs, SAW filters, integrated power amplifier modules, active arrays, use of network analysers, and a completely new chapter on digital filtering. Radio Frequency (RF) is the fundamental technology behind a huge range of modern consumer electronics and wireless communication devices, and this book provides a comprehensive and methodical guide to RF for engineers, technicians, enthusiasts and hobbyists with an interest in the electronics behind radio frequency communications. In Practical RF Handbook, Ian Hickman draws upon his own radio engineering background to develop a hands-on guide to the difficulties and pitfalls of RF design with a minimum of maths.
