Searching for RF Components and Circuits


RF Components and Circuits
-- by Joe Carr

A comprehensive introduction to designing and understanding RF circuits.

RF Components and Circuits covers the practicalities of designing and building circuits, including fault-finding and use of test equipment.

The RF circuits covered in this book are the heart of the electronic design of TV sets, personal mobile radios, remote control systems, mobile phones, and digital TV and radio, making it essential reading for radio and electronics engineers, students and advanced electronics hobbyists.

Joe Carr demystifies the RF design process, presenting real-world design principles, tips and rules-of-thumb with a minimum of mathematics. By explaining how different circuit types work, and how they can be modified, Joe provides a masterclass for electronics experts and newcomers to RF design alike.

Some basic knowledge of electronics is assumed, but the essential features of RF are fully described, including the important topic of receiver dynamics which is often overlooked in basic textbooks. The theory and circuit descriptions are geared toward genuine design applications rather than the oversimplifications and skeleton circuits of many college texts.

During his career, the late Joe Carr was one of the world’s leading writers on electronics and radio, and an authority on the design and use of RF systems. Whether you are looking for a complete self-study course in RF Technology, or a concise reference to dip into, this book has the solution.

    The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications (Details)
    -- The comprehensive RF Engineering Reference

    The BIGGEST Handbook EVER!
    THE Standard. Period.

    At the radio...on the workbench...in the library

    Since it was first published in 1926, The ARRL Handbook has been a mainstay for the radio electronic experimenter. A core resource for radio amateurs, hobbyists, engineers, and scientists, The Handbook is the single most authoritative reference on practical communications topics. It is both reference book and tutorial—woven together with practical applications and solutions.

    The “WOW” Factor!

    More than 60 authors and reviewers contributed over 70% NEW or completely revised content, making this the biggest Handbook…ever (over 1,250 pages). Including all new treatments of digital communications technology, solid-state RF power amplifiers and switch-mode power supplies. Plus, even MORE NEW PROJECTS:

  • 250-W solid-state amplifier for 160-6 meters.
  • Variable-voltage bench supply using switch-mode modules.
  • Antennas! Extended double-Zepp, multi-band horizontal loop and inexpensive Yagis for VHF/UHF.
  • Station accessories, including a high-power 160/80 meter matching network for 43 foot verticals, a 100 W Z-match antenna tuner and transmitting chokes.
    ...and MORE!

    CD-ROM Included! Includes the fully-searchable book and new design software on CD-ROM.

    System Requirements: Windows® XP, Windows Vista® or Windows® 7, as well as Macintosh® systems, using Adobe® Acrobat® Reader® software. The Acrobat Reader is a free download at www.adobe.com. PDF files are Linux readable.

    NEW Table of Contents: Electrical Fundamentals, Analog Basics, Digital Basics, RF Design Techniques, Computer-Aided Circuit Design, Power Supplies, Modulation, Oscillators and Synthesizers, Mixers, Modulators and Demodulators, RF and AF Filters, Receivers, Transmitters, Transceivers, DSP and Software Radio Design, Digital Modes, RF Power Amplifiers, Repeaters, Propagation of Radio Signals, Transmission Lines, Antennas, Component Data and References, Circuit Construction, Station Accessories, Test Equipment and Measurements, Troubleshooting and Repair, Electromagnetic Compatibility and Direction-Finding, Safety, Assembling a Station, Space Communications, Digital Communications, Image Communications
