i was wondering if someone could direct me to some good books for radio frequency design. which are the classics that the experienced members always suggest =========================== An excellent book on 'hands-on' RF design is a rather recent ARRL publication : 'Experimental Methods in RF Design ' by Wes Hayward , W7ZOI / Rick Campbell , KK7B and Bob Larkin , W7PUA It covers designs for a large part of the RF spectrum from HF to Microwave. It is one of the most stimulating publications in this field I have seen for a long time. It's a real gem ! Frank GM0CSZ / KN6WH |

It's a mine of useful info on designing your own stuff; recievers and transmitters.

I don't have that one but the predecessor was "Introduction to Radio Frequency Design" by Haywood. Uh, no. EMRFD was positioned as the successor to Solid State Design for the Radio Amateur. Introduction to RF Design is an excellent book. But it's not related to EMRFD. My list of books I've found interesting and/or informative (not all electronics-related) is at http://www.qsl.net/ve7ldh/reading.html Laura Halliday VE7LDH "Que les nuages soient notre Grid: CN89mg pied a terre..."

(snip) which are the classics that the experienced members always suggest Microwave Transistor Amplifiers by Guillermo Gonzalez for small signal design and Radio Frequency Transistors by Norm Dye and Helge Granberg for power amplifier design. Don't know if the latter is still in print. Check Opamp Technical Books at 1-800-468-4322. |

A good source for out of print technical books, and used current books,
is Powell's, http://www.powells.com.

Laura,
Judging from your Lat/Long, you're in BC right? So maybe you can help me. I made an attempt to find EMRFD in Calgary and came up with this: 1) web page of Chapters.ca - no such ISBN 2) phone call to McNally Robinson bookstore - can't find it in their computer So, did you buy your copy in Canada? If so where? Any fellow canucks, What is the best place in CA to order EMRFD? Thanks, Gavin "Laura Halliday" wrote in message om... Wes Stewart wrote in message . ..

If so where? Any fellow canucks, What is the best place in CA to order EMRFD? Thanks, Gavin Unless some of the big ham stores carry it, I suspect it's not off the shelf anywhere in Canada. The audience is too limited, and I don't see it (yet) making inroads to non-hams. Something like the ARRL Handbook shows up in bookstores, but it's been around for decades and is often offered as a good intro to electronics and/or construction, even to those not interested in amateur radio. Check the Radio Amateurs of Canada website at http://www.rac.ca They have a list of places that sell their books, and those ham stores are the places I might expect the book. But even then, as the technical side of amateur radio fades, they may not bother stocking the technical books. I bought an ARRL Handbook a couple of years ago from Radio HF here in the Montreal area, but it turned out they didn't have it in stock, and I had to wait while he collected enough orders to make an order to the ARRL worthwhile. http://www3.sympatico.ca/radiohf When I ordered, he was offering free shipping in order to entice those orders, so the delay wasn't bothersome. But I haven't bothered asking him if he has any in stock, and I'm not sure if there is any great reason for ordering in Canada if you have to wait for a shipment from the US first. So, it might be simplest to order from the ARRL, http://www.arrl.org I guess when I finally get around to it, I'll do it that way. Michael VE2BVW "Laura Halliday" wrote in message om...

Thanks for the advice.
I had assumed that if Chapters didn't have it then Amazon wouldn't either, but I was wrong on that. Turns out it was available from Amazon.ca, so that's where I placed the order.

I'd love to spend more money at Chapters, but they seem to be more interested in candles and such nowadays. Books are duty free in to Canada (always have been), and if you catch Canada Customs on a good day they won't hit you for taxes either.
