Rating: Summary: Are you planning to build or design an RF circuit? Review: This book is NOT for you if you plan on building or designing an RF circuit. It is definetely not for the TECHNICAL consumer. But it is meant for people who just want to get the gist of RF technology. This review is to warn people who are planning to get into the area of RF. You may want to purchase RF Circuit Design by Chris Bowick instead. If your into the theory of RF, avoid this book. 3 stars and no less because it was well written. No more no less. And Carl Weisman was right, when he said "hide the book from engineers."

Rating: Summary: Light & enjoyable, for the most part Review: Way back in high school, just before becoming a computer nut, I was a radio hobbyist and would have really enjoyed this book. Even now, as a CS/EE guy I still found it great toilet seat reading. It's not a heavy, serious book - it's light reading, sometimes annoyingly so; but with that in mind, entertaining & informative. Wish it had more to say about Spread Spectrum. Look forward to the DSP version, but hope it's "heavier".
