The ARRL 2006 Handbook devotes Chapter 22 to that task and provides a
good bibliography at the end of the chapter for further study.

Bob Miller was quoting the originaql questioner.

Bob recommended "Better Shortwave Reception" by William Orr.

Good advice, and the "Radio Handbook" recently published by Howard Sams
and edited by William Orr is a good source of elementary theory too.
