Receiver design book - suggestions?
 

What suggestions would you have for a good book on the design of
communications receivers? I have a copy of Rohde and Whittaker,
"Communications Receivers" and am working my way through it. It seems very
comprehensive and this level of detail is what I'm looking for, but some of
their explanations are a little hard to follow.

I would appreciate knowing what, if any, books others have found useful.

Thanks,

Rohde and Bucher "Comms receiver principles and design".
Rohde "RF/Microwave design for wireless apps'"
You can't escape the man!.

The books by Wes Hayward and his buddys, will give you stuff that
actually works..
Try:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Experimental Methods in RF Design
-- by Wes Hayward, W7ZOI, Rick Campbell, KK7B, and Bob Larkin, W7PUA

And several others in the ARRL catalog...

I have "Experimental Methods ..." and I agree it's an excellent one. If you
have the book you
might want to check out Wes Hayward's web site

http://w7zoi.net/em0.html

for a list of errata (it's a long one) for the book. I guess that the proof
reading was a little skimpy!
An updated new edition seems to be called for.

This is not to take away anything from Hayward and the other authors. My hat
is off to them and
people like them who have contributed so much to ham radio over the years.
