Description
Book SynopsisThis fascinating book provides a stimulating introduction to analog electronics by analysing the design and construction of a radio transceiver. Essential theoretical background is given, along with carefully designed laboratory and homework exercises. The approach ensures a good grasp of basic electronics and an excellent foundation in wireless communications systems.
Trade Review"Overall, this text is worthy of serious study for the care with which it combines theory and practice, and for the scope of its development from lowly, Ohm's law beginnings to substantive radio design incorporating gain and frequency stabilization." Contemporary Physics
