Summary
Summary
Originally published in 2004, this book provides a detailed introduction to radio frequency (RF) engineering, using a straightforward and easily understood approach combined with numerous worked examples, illustrations and homework problems. The author focuses on minimising the mathematics needed to grasp the subject while providing a solid theoretical foundation for the student. Emphasis is also placed on the practical aspects of radio engineering. The book provides a broad coverage of RF systems, circuit design, antennas, propagation and digital techniques. It will provide an excellent introduction to the subject for graduate students, researchers and practising engineers.

Choice Review
Coleman (Adelaide Univ., Australia) describes the practical aspects of radio engineering, including radio-frequency (RF) systems, electronic circuit design, antennas, radio wave propagation, and digital techniques. His approach gives readers a strong theoretical foundation by using a minimum of mathematics and numerous examples, illustrations, and homework problems. The many topics addressed include cellular mobile radio, radar, spread spectrum communications, propagation of radio waves, noise, filters, resonant circuits, matching networks, transistor amplifier design, mixers, modulators, demodulators, oscillators, phase-locked loops, transmission line theory, RF power amplifier efficiency, Maxwell's equations, pulse dispersion, theory of dipole and monopole antennas, smart antennas, patch antennas, diffraction, refraction, digital techniques in radio design, software radios, analog to digital conversion, and direct digital synthesizers. This well-written book is intended for upper-level electrical engineering undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers. Numerous references are cited. Recommended for libraries associated with electrical engineering academic programs. ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. F. A.
