An Introduction to Radio Frequency Engineering [Hardcover]

This 2004 book provides a detailed introduction to radio frequency (RF) engineering for students and engineers.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 author has focussed on minimising the mathematics needed to grasp the subject while providing a solid theoretical foundation for the student. The book provides a broad coverage of RF systems, circuit design, antennas, propagation and digital techniques. Written for upper level undergraduate courses, it will also provide an excellent introduction to the subject for graduate students, researchers and practising engineers.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.
