Radio Communications Concepts: Analog

by Ralph S. Carson

An introduction to radio communications applications of analog systems. This text/reference emphasizes those aspects of communication system design that allow technical specifications to be established for the radio circuitry, employing trigonometric methods from the outset. Introduces a system classification of fixed vs. time-varying, instantaneous vs. dynamic and linear vs. non-linear. General design of the analog receiving system is given priority.

Excellent for Receiver Design Engineers

Although a bit expensive, this book very clearly explains the various topics and calculations related to the system level design of Receivers. It includes linear and non linear mixing, two chapters on noise, AM & FM calculations, and three whole chapters on superheterodyne characteristics, spurious, and the intercept point concept. There are block diagrams and schematics. The math used is mostly algebra and light calculus except for the chapter on special functions. The answer to most end of chapter problems is included.
