An Introduction to Radio Frequency Engineering
An Introduction to Radio Frequency Engineering
Originally published in 2004, this book provides a detailed introduction to radio frequency (RF) engineering, using a straightforward and easily understood approach combined with numerous worked examples, illustrations and homework problems. The author focuses on minimising the mathematics needed to grasp the subject while providing a solid theoretical foundation for the student. Emphasis is also placed on the practical aspects of radio engineering. The book provides a broad coverage of RF systems, circuit design, antennas, propagation and digital techniques. It will provide an excellent introduction to the subject for graduate students, researchers and practising engineers.
- Complete coverage of RF systems, circuits, antennas and propagation
- Accessible for students - light on maths
- Practical approach
Reviews & endorsements
Review of the hardback: '… this book is timely and could well provide third-to-fifth-year electronics students an added interest in their work but, more importantly, a means for qualified engineers in industry to update their knowledge in this specialised field. … the book is well-printed and robustly bound with a colourful glossy cover. The print is easy-to-read on a good quality, crisp, paper and the numerous line drawings are excellent in quality.' Circuit World
Review of the hardback: 'This book provides an excellent introduction to radio frequency engineering, using a straightforward and easily understood approach combined with numerous worked examples, illustrations and homework problems … The book provides a broad coverage of RF systems, circuit design, antennas, propagation and digital techniques … Material in the book has been carefully chosen to provide a basic training in radio frequency and a springboard for more advanced students … Written for upper-level undergraduate courses, it also provides an excellent introduction to the subject for graduate students, researchers and practicing engineers.'
