This review is from: Reference Data for Engineers, Ninth Edition: Radio, Electronics, Computers and Communications (Hardcover)
I really like this book! I bought the 4th edition (1956) at a used book store and was anxious to get the latest version. I purchased it in 2001 when it came out, and have been very pleased with it. I would recommend this book to anyone involved in electronics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reference Data for Engineers - RF/Telecom/Electrical, December 17, 2008
This review is from: Reference Data for Engineers, Ninth Edition: Radio, Electronics, Computers and Communications (Hardcover)
I have a slightly earlier edition it is the first book I grab when I need to refresh my memory or answer that question that has my project team stumped. I bought the latest version for my summer intern - and he has been quite pleased with how much it has helped his 4th year electrical engineering studies. A good overall reference covering radio licensing to satellites, logic gates to protocols. Most thumbed reference book on my shelf.
