(Book)

Includes index.

"The 100th edition of The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications is by far the most extensively revised and expanded edition in recent years — including new and revised topics, content, and projects. It is written by radio amateurs who share their experience, learning, and discovery from across the state-of-the-art and emerging technologies. Each chapter is authored and edited by experts in the subject. The ARRL Handbook strikes the perfect balance between comprehensive RF engineering reference and practical treatment of basic electronic fundamentals, circuit design and equipment construction, antennas, transmission lines, safe electrical, RF practices, and more. Each chapter is filled with the most up-to-date knowledge representative of the wide and ever-expanding range of interests among radio amateurs. There are practical, hands-on projects for all skill levels — from simple accessories and small power supplies to amplifiers and high-gain antennas. Key Topics: Radio electronics theory and principles Circuit design and equipment Signal transmission and propagation Digital modulation and protocols Antennas and transmission lines Construction practices New Projects and Content: All-new chapter on radio propagation covering a wide range of bands and modes New and updated sections on electronic circuit simulation New cavity filter and high-power HF filter projects New coverage on digital protocols and modes New material on RFI from low-voltage lighting and other sources Revised section covering new RF exposure limits New content on portable station equipment, antennas, power, and assembly New material on ferrite uses and types New section on how to use portable SDR to locate sources of RFI",Back cover.
