DESCRIPTION:
If you're curious about the phenomena that make modern communications work if you want a fascinating, across-the-board tour of the entire field of radio communications, including career posibilities or if you want to buttress a radio license application, you've found the right book. How Radio Signals Work is the most pleasant path to enlightenment in the Age of Communications. They enable the airplane we ride and the ships we sail to navigate in unfamiliar locales. Signals move across space. Electrons, watts, amps, volts, and other "mysterious beasties" owrk. Radio waves poer n
A-Z coverage of radio signals including satellites, mobile communications, and short-wave radio. No detailed knowledge of electronics or mathematics is required. It covers all kinds of radio signal types--including mobile communications, short-wave, satellite, and microwave. This book provides a basic understanding of the way radio signals work-without becoming bogged down with the technicalities. No math or electronics background necessary.
Amazon Customer said A perfect niche book. I've been dusting off a lapsed lifelong professional interest in RF, network technologies and related areas recently, and as part of that research I stumbled across this excellent book. If you've dug around the field at all you probably have realized that there are two large categories of books on RF and communications. The first is the very superficial, utterly non-technical book that will let you pick the topic out of a line up but not really understand it. The second large category is the college textbook written for electrical engineers, which is full of Grrek letter -laden formulae and is incredibly technical. Both s. Perfect for Beginners & Non-techies This book was definitely written for non-technical people. In order to enjoy this book, one does not have to have great knowledge in electronics and mathematics. As matter of fact, the author completely avoids using mathematical equations and replace it with very easy-to-follow graphs to explain the complex "Radiophysics". The author did a very good job of explaining difficult topics of "Radiophysics" using normal everyday language. An excellent starter book for anyone who is interested in learning how our modern communication works. I wish I had read this book before I started my college engineering courses. Concepts men. Awesome intro to theory behind RF!! Amazon Customer I'm just beginning to get into Amateur Radio (ie: Ham radio) to move my career more toward RF technology. This book really lays out the info very gently, doesn't try to impress you with huge words or complex theorems. For anyone trying to gain insight into RF, this is a GREAT starting point. But, if you're trying to get into Ham radio, get the test book first from the ARRL and pass the Technician's exam. After that, you can apply practically all the theory found in this book and expand your knowledge further through experience.
