I need to brush up my RF and antenna knowledge, which is always
something
that I've almost but not quite understood. I've got a few books on
the
subject (two by Kraus, Electromagnetics and Antennas, and another on
RFIC
design) but they're often dry academic tomes and it's hard to get a
feel for
the subject. I'd really like something along the lines of The Art of
Electronics for RF. The AofE has a high-frequency chapter but it's a
bit
too brief (though I ought to go and reread it, it's been a while).

Any recommendations for hands-on books that are relatively easy to
read, to
give an idea of practicalities as well as theory?

Thanks
Theo

Amateur radio, perhaps? In the UK look for publications by the Radio
Society of Great Britain; or possibly some libraries and bookstores have
the ARRL Handbooks.
