5.0 out of 5 stars The Practical Handbook for RF Experimenters and Pros
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2006
Verified Purchase
Anyone with an interest in RF design needs this book. The authors are well known and respected in the ham radio community for their prolific writings covering the full range of RF-related topics. The keys to the success of this book are its emphasis on practical solutions and a conversational writing style, not unlike the famous ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications (a.k.a., The Handbook). It focuses on the building blocks of transmitters and receivers, gradually moving from fundaments (e.g., oscillator topologies) to practical building blocks (a stable VFO), and finally to complete systems such as a receiver. Some very useful and straightforward test equipment is also designed. Much of the book is devoted to analog RF/audio design, but the chapters on DSP are quite welcome and again, quite accessible.

Each example is clearly illustrated with clean, consistent, annotated schematics and parts lists and a nice narrative thats walks the reader through the circuit. Above all, they explain exactly WHY that particular funny component was placed in that particular place, and how its value was selected, and what happens if you change its attributes. Theory is not overlooked, either, though they do try to steer away from calculus so far as possible, leaving that to the countless textbooks. References for each chapter are extensive and many are also supplied on the included CD-ROM.

If you have any interest at all in RF design, and especially if you plan on building any equipment, I recommend that you buy this book. You will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really, no review is necessary for this book!
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2007

The popularity of this book in the Amateur Radio community is all the review that is needed!

Ham radio types generally have bunches of books, many of them reference texts that are dusted off and referred to just occasionally. EMRFD, isn't one of those reference books. This text will take you through the construction of a first rate amateur radio station. It covers the "homebrew" construction of virtually ever piece of equipment that you need to have a ham station capable of making contacts around the world!

The bottom line, if you are a Amateur Radio operator this is a must have text.

Any amateur interested in the technical side of the hobby or who still builds some of his own equipment will find that this book is one of the most rewarding to be found! It deserves to be book number two in any ham library, right after the Handbook!

5.0 out of 5 stars What can you say: BUY-IT !
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2015
Excellent book but pretty heavy on Direct-Conversion circuits. Also, the chapter progression is (to-me) different than I would have prefered but well worth the shelf-space and cost...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for homebrew radio enthusiasts
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2009
If you ever wanted to build your own radio equipment, this is one of the best mixtures of practical as well as theory. This book is an enhanced version of a prior text surrounding solid state amateur radio building.

From HF to UHF, transmitters, receivers, transceivers - superhet as well as direct conversion topics. If you have any aspirations of building your own amateur radio gear, this is a MUST READ reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Experimantal Methods in RF Design
Reviewed in Japan on October 3, 2004

この本の理念は、実験とは自分一人で材料を揃え、製作し、測定し、結果を確認することにあるとする。そこから初めて新しいアイデアが生まれるのである。著者３名はいずれも優秀なエンジニアーである一方、アクテイブなハムでもある。彼らの多年にわたる経験に裏打ちされた回路と機器の説明には迫力がある。ビギナーハムのみならず、ビギナー・エンジニアーにとっても、手放せない１冊となるであろう。
