<i>Radio-Frequency Electronics: Circuits and Applications</i>

TLDR

The book provides a foundational introduction to radio electronics for readers with no prior knowledge. This updated edition introduces the basic concepts and key circuits of radio‑frequency systems. It covers fundamental principles and practical design of radio‑frequency devices—from single‑chip transceivers to high‑power transmitters—adding expanded chapters on radar, digital modulation, GPS navigation, and S‑parameter analysis, and including worked examples, end‑of‑chapter problems, figures, and detailed coverage of filters, amplifiers, oscillators, modulators, low‑noise amplifiers, PLLs, transformers, waveguides, and antennas. The book is ideal for junior or senior electrical‑engineering courses and serves as an invaluable reference for professional engineers.

Abstract

This second, updated edition of the best-selling Radio-Frequency Electronics introduces the basic concepts and key circuits of radio-frequency systems. It covers the fundamental principles applying to all radio devices, from wireless single-chip data transceivers to high-power broadcast transmitters. This new edition is extensively revised and expanded throughout, including additional chapters on radar, digital modulation, GPS navigation, and S-parameter circuit analysis. New worked examples and end-of-chapter problems are included to aid and test understanding of the topics covered, as well as numerous extra figures to provide a visual aid to learning. Key topics covered include filters, amplifiers, oscillators, modulators, low-noise amplifiers, phase lock loops, transformers, waveguides, and antennas. Assuming no prior knowledge of radio electronics, this is a perfect introduction to the subject. It is an ideal textbook for junior or senior courses in electrical engineering, as well as an invaluable reference for professional engineers in this area.
