If you are like me, you spend a lot of time reading articles from technical magazines.
Sometimes I read the entire article, but usually I just scan the text for highlights
and look at the schematics, block diagrams, and charts / graphs. Often, I want to go
back and find an article but cannot recall where I saw it. A Google search will usually
eventually reveal a hyperlink to the article, but a lot of times it takes a lot of digging.
Since my key interests are not necessarily the same as RF Cafe visitors, an attempt will
be made to catalog all of them. If there is a magazine not included here that you would
like me to include in the list, please send me an e-mail and I will try to incorporate
its articles, too.
