Book Description
An excellent resource for engineers and engineering students alike, this practical design guide offers you a comprehensive overview of the most important aspects and components of radio frequency equipment and systems. The book applies theoretical fundamentals to real-world issues, extensively using examples from recent design projects. You learn how to configure an effective receiver and transmitter architectures from commercial blocks, determine the most efficient ways of circumventing wave propagation problems in a real network, assemble a reliable test environment for an RF project, and make a design survive in the real operating environment. Moreover, this handy reference shows you how to design a small instrumentation radar system and an airborne telemetry system. Other key discussions include circuits and components for system evaluations and design, RF measurement instrumentation, antennas and associated hardware, and guidelines for purchasing test equipment. The book also serves as a valuable on-the-job training resource for sales engineers and a graduate-level text for courses in this area.

Book News Annotation:
Eskelinen (head, Institute of Digital Communications, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland) overviews the most important aspects of components of radio frequency (RF) equipment and systems, applying theoretical fundamentals to real-world issues and using examples from recent design projects. Useful as a reference for engineers and students, this practical design guide shows how to configure effective receiver and transmitter architectures from commercial blocks, circumvent wave propagation problems in a real network, and assemble a reliable test environment for an RF project. While many of the examples have a direct or indirect connection to national defense, design principles are similar to those needed for civilian communication systems of scientific test instrumentation.
