Reviews / Votes
This 3rd edition adds substantial new materials focusing primarily on advanced architectures and Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal processing techniques. Numerious illustrations and tables help the reader visually conceptualize the text. This is an extremely useful book for the RF enthusiasts and a variety of engineers dealing with circuit, module, and equipment engineering. - E-Streams, Vol 7, No. 1, January 2004For the reader who is also and electronics enthusiast, a technician, or a student, the Practical RF Handbook is a nicely put togethor book that brings thogethor RF designs of the past in a fresh context. Once one brushes up on the electronic circuits background required, one cannot help but notice that Ian Hickman takes a topic that would not make for engaging text and transforms it into a readable book by maintaining a balance between technical content, a wide range from formal to informal presentation, as well as historical perspective - IEEE Signal Process Society
