Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Modeled after PROMPT() Publications' bestselling titles Basic Electronics and Basic Digital Electronics, Basic Communications Electronics discusses how analog electronic devices and circuits are used to create communications systems. Concentrating on semiconductor devices, bipolar and field-effect transistors, and integrated circuits, Basic Communications Electronics will teach you how these devices work and how they are used in analog circuits. With the knowledge of basic concepts, device and circuit fundamentals, and circuit applications, you will have a solid foundation that will help you understand the development of communications electronics.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This is the best book I came across under 500 pages,

This review is from: Basic Communications Electronics (Hardcover)
I loved the way this book is organized and layed out. The diagrams are easy to read and follow. The slant of the book focuses on the communication aspects of electronics starting off with a definition of communications and explaining and surprisingly clear detail the definitions you will come across. A good refresher chapter covers Ohm's Law, transistor and FETs configurations and a real good section on couplings and their effects on the signal. Diagrams of the spectum analyzer's screen is used to explain modulation with out getting technical. All the math is basic algebra with no calculus in sight. There's a page in chapter 4 that helps you in designing common emitter amplifiers. AM, FM, sideband is covered including standing wave ratio and antenna theory. I wish I had this book when I was learning radio communications in the military. It's only 200 pages but the information provided is enough to get the beginning student up to speed quickly. The author doen't go much into TV but he does cover various line connections from waveguides to coaxial cables. From here you can easily move on to an ARRL Radio book. I love this book!!!
