Customer Reviews

Good Handbook, Light Design Info,, solid reference material

Good GENERAL test guidance throughout, with handy formula to tie you back into the theory of what is actually happening. Although there are some of Joe Carr's books I don't like, this is one I definately do and highly recommend for anyone involved in the testing of RF devices, especially those which have to test and work with a diverse product set. For more in depth circuit analysis, see Chris Bowicks "RF Circuit Design"...

Covers the basics of setup

Handy guide for thinking though testing procedures for RF devices. Gives an analytical walthough of a device. Covers a lot of the scenarios that often come up when checking out a device. Would have liked a few more details, but this book serves its purpose as a practical guide.

finebuss handbook for serious amateur radio operators

This is my first Joseph Carr book and I am totally hooked.Being a new ham and with no EE background, I find this book to be very clear and easy to understand, even for newbies like myself.To fully grasp the ideas inside I would guess being a hamhelps. With basic college EE background this book sure isa breeze to read. This is also a good handbook in case you forget RF fundamentals.I am looking forward to buying more Josheph...

Outstanding!

This book is a truly outstanding reference for the RF laboratory. (It is so good, that I'm thinking about buying a second copy just in case I ever lose the first) Although this book says it is a "technician's handbook", I think engineers and technicians alike will find this book invaluable. If you are a young engineer, this book will answer all of the "stupid" questions you're afraid to ask your more senior colleagues...

Excellent RF manual

As contributing editor and technical consultant to Mobile Radio Technology magazine I try to keep up with the latest books on radio and RF in general. I have never seen a Joe Carr book that was anything less than very good. This one is excellent. He knows the subject matter and writes in a practical, down-to-earth way that technicians can relate to. If you need to increase you knowledge of RF this book is for you. I highly...
