Many of the systems and devices people use for wireless communication, power transfer, navigation, and sensing operate in the RF spectrum. With such a wide variety of applications and markets, designing RF circuits can be a complex and nuanced task. The RF Design Handbook explains fundamental concepts and provides the knowledge engineers need to begin these processes.
The book also analyzes the tools and components you'll need to bring your ideas to life.
Here are some of the new products included in this publication:
