RF components and circuits Foreword; Preface; Introduction to radio frequencies; Signals and noise; Radio receivers; RF amplifiers; Mixers; Oscillators; IF amplifiers and filters; Demodulators; Capacitors; Inductors; Tuning and matching; Splitters and hybrids; Monolithic microwave integrated circuits; Measuring inductors and capacitors; RF power measurement; Filtering against EMI RFI; Noise cancellation bridges; Bibliography; Index Some basic knowledge of electronics is assumed but the essential features of RF are fully described including the important topic of receiver dynamic which is often overlooked in basic textbooks. The theory and circuit descriptions are geared towards genuine design applications rather than the oversimiplifications and skeleton circuits of many college texts. During his career the late Joe Carr was one of the worlds 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 text to dip into this book has the solution.
