RF Design Guide Systems, Circuits and Equations (ARTECH HOUSE ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION LIBRARY)

This is unquestionably an awesome book. This is my third. It's not the excellent content that is the one star rating, but the binding (which there is none).The new printing of the hardback version is that style where they glue the butts of individual pages to nothing. I've had several of these type of hardback books, and the pages immediately begin coming out of the book. I'm returning this and buying an original used version.

This book is in good shape and even came with the original disk, this disk has all the equations.

A more appropriate title might be "RF Design Handbook". It will not guide you through the principles of RF design. However it is an excellent reference for many practical RF topics and circuit examples. It covers a range of topics from the higher system level of receiver blocks down to inductance of an airwound coil and PCB layout tips. It contains practical measurement tips and specialized circuits that RF designers routinely encounter. The book has tons of useful design equations and the author was kind enough to include user-friendly spreadsheets with those equations. I highly recommend this book to any RF engineer that does discrete circuit design. I would even recommend it to radio hobbyist since topics are presented in an easy to understand style.

Not only is this book fantastic on its treatment of practical rf design, but it also has (on an included 3.5" disk) five Excel spreadsheets -- with 100's of formulas -- that make such wireless designs far easier to calculate. I strongly recommend Mr. Vizmuller's book for both wireless circuit and systems design.

A good variety of useful designs and formulas. A must for RF engineers reference library.

A great book with lots of practical information.The software is working fine and I use it a lot,espically the lowpass filter design program savesme a lot of time.
