E-Book Overview
This extensively revised and updated edition of the 1997 Artech House classic, RF Systems. "Components, and Circuits Handbook", offers professionals a comprehensive, one-stop resource on the latest developments, key technologies, and applications of radio frequency (RF) engineering. Among the numerous updates, the second edition includes brand new chapters on GPS (the global positioning system), and an expanded treatment of wireless communications systems. This valuable reference tool helps high-tech and non-tech professionals alike gain a solid, broad understanding of the many types of RF systems and equipment in use today. Clearly written and concise, the book is organized into two sections. Part One provides an easy-to-follow introduction to a wide variety of RF systems including telephone, radar, navigation, and more. Part Two identifies and examines various RF circuits and components.
