Radio Frequency (RF) is the hot topic in electronics design, providing the technology for the wireless revolution, including mobile phones and Bluetooth, the system that is linking the wide range of electronic devices and control systems used in the home and workplace. RF engineers are at the forefront in radio, telecommunications, space technology, avionics, optical communications, radar, navigation, medical electronics and computers.

Ian Hickman's Practical RF Handbook is well established as a hands-on guide for engineers, technicians, students and enthusiasts working in RF design. The author's own radio engineering background means that he really talks the language of an engineer, with an awareness of the difficulties and pitfalls faced in RF design, and using a minimum of maths to get his point across.

The structure of the book is methodical and comprehensive, covering all the key topics in RF: analogue design principles, transmission lines, transformers, couplers, amplifiers, oscillators, modulation, transmitters and receivers, propagation and antennas.

New sections and major updates in the third edition include: RF ICs, DBMs, SAW filters, integrated power amplifier modules, active arrays, use of network analysers, and a completely new chapter on digital filtering.
