The Golden Age of Radio may be long over, but the classic design of old time radios will never go out of style. Keep your vintage radio looking and sounding like the bee's knees with this informative guide from electrical engineer and author Joseph J. Carr. Topics include:
History
Theory
Practical Repair Guides
The definitive antenna reference--thoroughly revised and expanded to cover the latest technologies!
This fully updated handbook lays out complex antenna fundamentals in simple terms for ham and short wave radio hobbyists and electronics technicians. The book begins with quick explanations of present day antenna theories and practices before providing start-to-finish instruction on the fabrication and installation of real antennas. You will explore every type of antenna system--from VHF/UHF to mobile/wireless and everything in between.
Practical Antenna Handbook, Sixth Edition bridges the gap between the highly theoretical mathematics of antenna engineers and the hands-on focus of radio amateurs and experimenters. The book covers key areas such as multiple antenna families, inexpensive or free software modeling tools, and antenna testing using low-cost techniques. You will get coverage of new antenna types for low-frequency applications only now being opened to radio amateurs.

Design and build your own antennas with the help of this unique guide. Updated and revised to provide clear answers to questions frequently asked by hobbyists and electronics technicians, Practical Antenna Handbook, Fifth Edition blends theoretical concepts with hands-on experience--requiring only high school mathematics
Reorganized to flow logically from broad physical principles to specific antenna design and construction techniques, the book begins by covering the fundamentals. Then the half-wave dipole is discussed both as an excellent antenna in its own right and as a conceptual tool for predicting the performance of other designs. Transmission line impedance matching techniques--and a companion Smith chart tutorial--lead into must have accessories for tuning, monitoring, and troubleshooting antenna system performance. Other tools, such as antenna modeling software and network analyzer add-ons for PCs and Macs, are addressed, and concluding chapters offer fresh insights into support structures and installation techniques.

The fundamentals of microwave and wireless communications technology are critical to the telecommunications and data acquisitions fields. Because many of the new developments involve commonly available equipment such as cellular telephones and satellite dishes, technicians as well as engineers must learn the basics of the technology.
Microwave and Wireless Communications Technology offers a practical, device-based approach to the study of microwave and wireless communications. Student objectives, numerous questions and problems, and end-of-chapter summaries reinforce the theory in each chapter. Answers to odd-numbered questions are provided in the back of the book. Math is kept to the lowest practical level, and the last section of each chapter is a collection of the key equations laid out for the student. A Windows diskette with supplementary instructor material is available on request with adoption.
Practical Radio Frequency Test and Measurement will teach readers the basics of performing the tests and measurements used in radio-frequency systems installation, proof of performance, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Practical Radio Frequency Test and Measurement teaches readers the basics of performing the tests and measurements used in radio-frequency systems installation, proof of performance, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Anyone interested in gaining more practical proficiency with RF, whether engineer, technician, amateur radio buff, or hobbyist, needs a copy of this book. Joseph J. Carr, himself an accomplished practitioner in this field, examines the instruments used in the various types of measurement before moving on to specific measurement methods.
Carr includes information on basic theories of RF measurement, as well as test equipment, test set-ups, test and measurement procedures, and interpretation of results.
A hands-on guide to finding the sources of electromagnetic interference and then fixing the problems. Includes basic theory of EMI as well as detailed explanations of why this problem is becoming more serious as the international scope of the communications and electronics industries grow. This book is not a textbook, but rather a handbook that will become a constant source of reference for anyone who runs into trouble with EMI. Includes chapters on grounding, circuit shielding and filtering, preventing EMI in circuit design, as well as EMI sources such as power lines, transmitters, television, consumer electronics, telephones, automobiles, and the ever-frustrating mystery EMI.
There are very few other books available even though EMI is constantly discussed and cursed. Most of the books on the market are about how to prevent EMI in circuit design or approaches to understanding the theory behind EMI. Though this information is important, especially to an engineering audience, these books hold no value at all to the technicians and hands-on practitioners in the fields of communications and servicing.These savvy professionals know that the book they are looking for and need is just not on the market. To get the information they need, this group is forced to read every magazine article they can find on the subject and rely on the advice of other professionals whether through technician groups or newsgroups. This book fills a void in the telecommunications and electronics industries by providing practical troubleshooting information.
Thoroughly covers the management of medical instrumentation systems with a strong emphasis placed on safety. Coverage includes data communications within hospitals and mobile emergency units, including ambulances and other medical squads. Contains a wealth of practical, how-to advice including and selecting the best desktop computer for biomedical systems, repair methods for water damaged medical equipment, determining what test equipment tools are needed, choosing the right solid-state replacement components, and many others. Provides a vitally important section on preventative maintenance and proper program design. This handy reference is ideal for the clinical technician.
