This book is aimed at electronics hobbyists, especially amateur radio operators and shortwave listeners, electronics technicians, and students of electronics. This practical guide to radio frequency power design and tecniques uses real-world values for electronic components throughout and avoids a theoretical and mathametical approach.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent design guide,

This review is from: Practical RF Power Design Techniques (Paperback)
Along with Chris Bowick's book, this manual belongs in the library of any engineer or technician who wants to gain an understanding of RF amplifiers, filters and impedance-matching networks. Gottlieb's style makes for enjoyable reading and easy comprehension; and, along with solid-state, he covers vacuum tube technology. That's a real plus, in my opinion. Highly recommended to engineers, students, technicians and hobbyists.

Proofreader needed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Practical RF Power Design Techniques (Paperback)
I am an EE, but not an RF expert. The book may have a lot of useful information, but I can't tell what is correct and what isn't. Even with my limited RF knowledge, I found a huge number of typos, especially in the last couple of chapters, some questionable math, a severe lack of math and theory to back up the "practical" hints, and a frustrating inability by the author to express himself clearly. For example, he discusses electrical line length for many pages, but never defines it. He provides many anecdotes about VSWR, but does not provide enough math or theory to tie them all together into a useful picture. It seems to me that the content is much too spotty to be useful to a designer; it might be more helpful to an RF equipment operator with very limited technical and math skills.

OK BUT,
By A Customer
This review is from: Practical RF Power Design Techniques (Paperback)
I am on chapter two of this book. I have found it to be informative and not overly quantitative. However, a number of typos have contributed to some aggravation. Some additional proof reading and corrections are in order. These errors might be confusing to the student and/or novice.
