Riassunto

This accessible and comprehensive book provides an introduction to the basic concepts and key circuits of radio frequency systems, covering fundamental principles which apply to all radio devices, from wireless data transceivers on semiconductor chips to high-power broadcast transmitters. Topics covered include filters, amplifiers, oscillators, modulators, low-noise amplifiers, phase-locked loops, and transformers. Applications of radio frequency systems are described in such areas as communications, radio and television broadcasting, radar, and radio astronomy. The book contains many exercises, and assumes only a knowledge of elementary electronics and circuit analysis. It will be an ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in electrical engineering, as well as an invaluable reference for researchers and professional engineers in this area, or for those moving into the field of wireless communications.

Recensione:

'This book is wonderfully informative, and refreshingly different from the usual rehash of standard engineering topics. Hagen has put his unique insights, gleaned from a lifetime of engineering and radio science, into this volume and it shows. There's an insight per page, at least for me, that makes it truly enjoyable reading, even for those of us who think we know something about the field!' Paul Horowitz, Harvard University

'This book by Jon Hagen should prove to be an invaluable text ... written in the same style as the highly successful The Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill ... they also share a common publisher, Cambridge University Press. Both books are distinctive in thAT THEY EMPHASISE PRACTICAL DESIGN KNOWLEDGE BASED ON YEARS OF EXPERIeNCE BY THE AUTHORS. tHIS IS A REFRESHING CHANGE FROM MANY CONVENTIONAL TEXTS ON ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT DESIGN ... this text is a goldmine of information and practical insights into circuit design. The coverage is extensive ... this is an outstanding book which should be widely used as an undergraduate text.' Philip Mars, The Times Higher Education Supplement

'Hagen developed this readable book from a course at Cornell University ... It will help engineers who are exploring new areas in RF design and need a baseline understanding and insight regarding various techniques as a prelude to more detailed study and design.' Electronics Design News

'Highly recommended for its unique insights into a wide range of topics covered.' I. L. Kosow, Choice
