5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb introduction to key concepts of RF circuit design.,
By Farron Dacus, fdacus@clevemed.com (Irving, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Radio Frequency Design (Radio Amateur's Library, Publication No. 191.) (Paperback)
This classic book provides a well presented introduction to RF circuit design, focused on giving the reader a thorough grounding in the basic concepts needed to become a professional RF circuit designer. There is sufficient mathematical rigor to convince the pros, but not so much as to make the book inaccessable to students and more advanced amateurs. The author is an experienced state of the art RF designer and a life long "RF guy"--I've been reading his articles in QST magazine for 25 years. This experience and his devotion to the field come through strongly in his book. Though first published in the early 1980's, most of the material is basically timeless. I do hope Wes will someday revise it to include newer RF IC design as well. The book deserves to be in the library of every professional, and especially those just starting in the field.

Don't let the word "Introduction" fool you,

This review is from: Introduction to Radio Frequency Design (Radio Amateur's Library, Publication No. 191.) (Paperback)
I bought this book based on a recommendation at a web site that contained basic electronics-tutorials, but it is really too advanced for a beginner. I found it too hard to follow. (I also bought "RF Circuit Design" by Chris Bowick, which I found easier to follow, though it still helped that there are some things I know about electronics that weren't covered in the tutorials where I found the recommendation.)To be fair, the introduction to this edition says it is for "the working engineer" and "ADVANCED radio amateur" (emphasis mine). People in those classes may find it more useful. I wish I knew that before I ordered it. I don't think I should say how many stars this book deserves because I am not in the intended audience, but Amazon insists that I select a number of stars, so I picked 3.

This review is from: Introduction to Radio Frequency Design (Radio Amateur's Library, Publication No. 191.) (Paperback)
What can you say about Wes Hayward that hasn't been said already? This book should be required reading for RF/Microwave designers. It covers all the basic and fundamental subjects of RF design with insight and clarity. I particularly liked the chapter on filter theory and design, crystal filters especially. The coverage of resonant circuits in general is very good. This is a staple in my brief case and rarely spends much time on the shelf. I recommend it highly to anyone in need of a good RF design reference text.
