Omschrijving

From Oscillators and Modulation to RF Amplifiers, Filters, and Antennas

Discover the principles, techniques, and practical skills behind radiofrequency (RF) transmitters in this comprehensive guide to designing, building, simulating, testing, and troubleshooting real RF circuits.

Starting with the fundamentals of oscillation and resonance, this book takes you step by step through the complete transmitter chain, from signal generation to antenna. Explore Hartley, Colpitts, Clapp, Pierce, crystalcontrolled, varactor, PLL, and DDS oscillators, alongside practical methods for generating amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM). Learn how to design oscillators, buffer stages, RF drivers, and power amplifiers, and understand the operating principles of Class A, B, AB, C, D, E, and F amplifiers. Discover how component selection, biasing, tuned loads, efficiency, and thermal management influence real-world performance.

Practical circuit design is at the heart of this book. You will learn to calculate inductors, work with resonant circuits, match complex impedances using L, T, and Pi networks, and design Butterworth filters with support from LTspice simulations. Useful computer programs simplify calculations for coils, tuning capacitors, filters, and impedance-matching networks. A detailed 7.1505 MHz transmitter case study brings these concepts together, demonstrating how individual stages can be designed, tested, and integrated into a working system.

Beyond theory, this book addresses the challenges that often determine success in practice: parasitic effects, grounding, shielding, decoupling, circuit loading, component tolerances, and thermal behavior. Whether you are an engineer, a radio amateur, or a student, this book will help you move beyond formulas and develop a deeper understanding of how RF transmitters really work.
