Introduction to RF Equipment and System Design
Every year, tens of thousands of young engineers and university graduates enter the
fascinating professional field of radio frequency (RF) design. Most of them have a
reasonable understanding of applied mathematics and physics, circuit theory, electromagnetism,
and electronics as well as computers and programming. Despite the
comprehensive courses and overwhelming educational literature, however, many of
these talented young people have to face the crude practical project environment of
systems and equipment without much prior knowledge of, or tutorials about, how
and why things are done the way they are done. I was once in that situation. Typically,
