"RF Circuit Deign"
By
Chris Bowick

Pub. Newnes.

I've just got a new copy from Ottakar's; it is
still in print (just) £21-99pp for 176 pages packed
full of concise info about RF circuits, LC filters
(especially the bits about use of an L-network to
match ant to TX) together with a good analysis of
the Smiff (That's _TWO_ "f"'s) Chart and how to use it.

Looks a better bargain than that £350 law book of yours.

Whatever books people recommend on RF Design , as a non-professional in the
RF Field , I find :
"Experimental Methods in RF Design" by W7ZOI ,KK7B and W7PUA the 'top of
the pops'.
Published by ARRL ,it also seems to be available from RSGB.
It has more than 500 pages and costs US $ 50.-
In my opinion , as an radio amateur home constructor ,you don't need any
other RF design book , although the above book's (much older) predecessor "
Solid State Design for the Radio Amateur " by W7ZOI and W1FB (now sadly SK)
is equally inspiring .

I have that one, and I like it a lot, it is a very nice updated rewrite
of Solid State Design by W7ZOI.

I could also call your attention to Jeff Carr's "Secrets to RF design",
he pays a lot of attention to practical details not immediately obvious
in theory. His read is actually a lot of fun.

Finally, there is a book I really want to read, "Voice of the Crystal",
about the theory and practice of building RF circuits out of common
household items and castoffs.
