Publisher's Synopsis
This work demystifies that part of the electromagnetic spectrum known as the radio frequency band. It is aimed at electonics hobbyists, students, shortwave listeners and ham radio operators, taking a practical approach which leads readers through RF theory with hands-on bench experiments and projects.;Readers can learn how to construct their own RF amplifiers, simple wire antennas, microwave integrated circuits and receiver preselectors. They will also discover how to wind their own RF coils and transformers, repair fixed and variable capicitors and build radio receiver circuits and RF bridges. Two projects take the mystery out of spectrum analyzers and time-domain reflectometers.
