John Blyler was born in the Mojave Desert of California, where his father worked as an engineer on space rockets. Not surprising, John developed an early interest in science and engineering. Surprisingly, he also learned to enjoy writing about these subjects to both technical and non-technical audiences – thanks to his mom who taught humanity courses. Today, John covers the latest high-tech, R&D and even science fiction stories in blogs, magazine articles and videos. He is an experienced physicist, engineer, journalist and professor who continues to speak at major conferences and on CE.TV. He plays the piano and holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

Absolutely the best

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2014

Don't you get sick of textbook writers who cover leaps in logic with "obvious to the most casual observer", and it is not obvious to you (or me) at all? No explanation either because it is too complex for the author to make simple or too simple for the author to stoop to explaining it?

That doesn't happen in this book. If Bowick brings it up, he explains it--better than I have found anywhere else. In fact, when other authors don't bother explaining it, you can check Bowick for the explanation.

I have Horowitz & Hill on my shelf. I have Wes Hayward on my shelf. I have Sedra & Smith on my shelf. All excellent books I can't do without. But the clearest explanations of RF design for engineers and advanced hobbyists are in Chris Bowick's small, but powerful RF Circuit Design. Engineers will find it useful. QRP hams who build their own gear will find it indispensable.

Probably not for someone that isn't an electrical engineer or physics major.

This book is over my head, so I'm not sure I'm the right person to review this. I was hoping for something more approachable. That being said, it might become more valuable when I learn more.

Excellent balance between theory and practice - very practical exposition of the fundamentals. Well worth it.

In the ambit of designing RF devices, this book could be catalogued as the best introductory text. It has examples of properties for each type of circuits and theoretical explanations. Both amateurs and professionals should have this book as a reference.

Mr. D. J. Jewsbury

The Best RF design book I know.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 15, 2000

Verified Purchase

I first saw this book about ten years ago. It was great then and I still refer to it about once every month for routine design calculations that I can never remember. New RF engineers tend to think that there is one correct solution to every problem. Unfortunately in RF usualy there isn't, but as far as the nuts and bolts that can be calculated, looking in Mr Bowick's book is the easiest way to understand how it's done. It is easiest because there are worked examples that go through every step. It's a great confidence booster to know that design calculations are correct, if if your circuit isn't working quite as you expected! The weakness of the book is that it doesn't try to treat the 'black art' areas such as oscillators and phase noise, and it only scratches the surface of PA design. This is not a serious failing however as other books attempt to cover this. Nor is it a circiut cookbook, try the ARRL manuals for that. There is no 'rocket science' in this book, just the basics, but the treatment of the material is brilliant. In summary, this is the first RF book you should buy, then you need lots of other books (to look at, at least) and lots of experience of solving real RF problems.
