| | Recommended RF textbooks to learn from? - RF Cafe Forums |
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

Location: US | What are the best textbooks to learn RF from? Or any other media such as courses, course notes, CDs, open courseware, etc.? What would you recommend?
I and several other analog engineers want to learn (more) RF to be able to do RF design for variety of products.
I would think first and foremost would be RF fundamentals and RF circuit design, and then more advanced progression would be into system design and communication theory.
Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
P.S. Been a fan of the site for a long time.
Edit: To provide more details and be more specific, the work I will likely be doing:
specifying and architecting products
not consumer products, will be working on a variety of industrial and medical products
discrete design and selecting chips, less likely to be doing IC design
most design will be under 10GHz for now
some antenna design
oscillator and PLL design
But I’m interested in learning more beyond this too…
Thanks for the post Fred and Hi!

Posts: 106 | Hi!
"RF" is a pretty broad field...
For RF circuit design, the pair of books by Les Besser and Rowan Gilmore is very good.
For antennas and propagation (aka electromagnetics), the books by Kraus are standards.
There are tons of books and resources - if you want something more specific, please let us know what you really need and want, in some detail.
Good Luck!
Fred

Posts: 2 | My favorite readable basic RF books were:
Introduction to Radio Frequency Design by Wes Hayward
Solid State Radio Engineering by Krauss, Bostian and Raab
For Filters: Electronic Filter Design Handbook by Williams
For Microwave Topics: Microwave Engineering by Pozar
Cheers,

| | For RF amplifiers I suggest the Steve C. Cripps books:
-RF Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications (1999)
-Advanced Techniques in RF Power Amplifier Design(2002)
-RF Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications, Second Edition(2006)
Good hunting!!
