Radio Frequency Transistors: Principles and practical applications (EDN Series for Design Engineers) [Hardcover]

Helge Granberg (Author), Norman Dye (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0750690593 | ISBN-13: 978-0750690591 | Publication Date: February 12, 1993

Cellular telephones, satellite communications and radar systems are adding to the increasing demand for radio frequency circuit design principles. At the same time, several generations of digitally-oriented graduates are missing the essential RF skills. This book contains a wealth of valuable design information difficult to find elsewhere.



It's a complete 'tool kit' for successful RF circuit design.
Written by experienced RF design engineers from Motorola's semiconductors product section.
Book covers design examples of circuits (e.g. amplifiers; oscillators; switches; pulsed power; modular systems; wiring state-of-the-art devices; design techniques).

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive guide for Highpower HF Amplifier Design, April 15, 2000

This review is from: Radio Frequency Transistors: Principles and practical applications (EDN Series for Design Engineers) (Hardcover)

This is one fine book that deals with all the thoretical,practical and thermal aspects of Highpower Broadband amplifiers using Solidstate devices. Eventhough the examples and discussions are centered mainly around the Motorola RF Transistors,the principles can be extended to semiconductor devices manufactured by any manufacturer.The authors have dealt with the subject matter in a thorough and a very easy to understand manner.I have been reading H.O.Granberg's articles in QST,RF Design and Motorola Application Notes since the early 80s as they were always packed with his tremendous experience in the field of Solidstate RF design. No matter whether you are a professional designer or an advanced radio amateur, you are sure to find it a gem in your collection of technical books.

This review is from: Radio Frequency Transistors: Principles and practical applications (EDN Series for Design Engineers) (Hardcover)

This book has been revised and updated in a second edition. I suggest that you either buy this book used or the second edition new depending upon your needs and finances.

This book bridges the gap between school theory and practice in RF power amplifier design and construction. This is the best book on the subject that I have seen in 40 years.
