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

By	PRAMOD B S (Bangalore, India) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Radio Frequency Transistors: Principles and Practical Applications (Motorola Series in Solid State Electronics) (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars first edition of a book that now is in the second edition, March 6, 2006

By	it (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Radio Frequency Transistors: Principles and Practical Applications (Motorola Series in Solid State Electronics) (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.
