Opis

Although it is one of the oldest sectors of electronics and now somewhat taken for granted, radio frequency transmission literally changed our world. Today, it is still the backbone of myriad applications, from broadcasting to electronic counter-measures. The wide variety of hardware in use means that those working in the field must be familiar with a multitude of principles and applications, but finding an up-to-date, comprehensive source for this background material has been difficult, if not impossible.

Recenzje

"The text is complemented with numerous excellent charts and diagrams. . . This is a well-organized and written handbook that has brought together a multitude of information. It is intended to serve the information needs of persons who specify, install, and maintain RF equipment, with special emphasis to radio and television hardware. A recommended book for all academic libraries."
