RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...

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!

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

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

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!!

The lists are really educational. I'm enriching
my knowledge wit this kind of books.
