商品描述

This book provides an insight into techniques that are commonly used in the design of modern RF communications equipment. Although the emphasis is on equipment or circuits that are part of communication systems, information is provided on a variety of general electronic design topics. It is assumed that the reader has a general understanding of basic electronic concepts, such as that required to pass the U.S. General or the Canadian Advanced Amateur exam. No special mathematical skills should be necessary to make use of the material that is presented - basic Grade 10 algebra will be sufficient. No calculus will be used at any time. Some basic trigonometry is required in a few places, but a simple tutorial on the necessary concepts is provided in one of the Appendices.This is not intended to be a formal text book with rigorous explanations, derivations, and difficult mathematics. It is assumed that the reader would prefer to get a good understanding of how circuits work, with just enough detail so that designs can be analyzed in a basic manner. Where appropriate, approximations and "rules of thumb" will be disclosed that can often simplify the design process. The book includes several design examples.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了對現代射頻通訊設備設計中常用技術的深入了解。雖然重點放在通訊系統中的設備或電路上,但也提供了一些關於一般電子設計主題的資訊。假設讀者對基本的電子概念有一般的理解,例如通過美國普通業餘考試或加拿大高級業餘考試所需的知識。閱讀者不需要特殊的數學技能來使用所呈現的材料 - 基本的10年級代數就足夠了。任何時候都不會使用微積分。在一些地方需要一些基本的三角函數知識,但在附錄中提供了一個簡單的教程來解釋這些概念。本書不打算成為一本嚴謹解釋、推導和困難數學的正式教科書。假設讀者更希望對電路的工作原理有一個良好的理解,只需提供足夠的細節,以便能夠以基本的方式分析設計。在適當的情況下,將提供可以簡化設計過程的近似值和經驗法則。本書包含了幾個設計示例。

作者簡介

Roger Palmer was born in England, and grew up in Canada. He has an electrical engineering degree from McMaster University (1969), and an MBA from the University of Washington (1988). He is a registered Professional Engineer in the province of British Columbia, and is a Life Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (the "IEEE," based in New York). Roger has been "messing around with electrons" from about the age of 8. Since then, he has always been involved in the "Hi-Tech" field, and co-founded three successful electronic companies. From 1978 until 1994 he was involved in developing a variety of bar code products and technologies at Intermec in Everett, WA (as VP of Engineering, Marketing, and then Research). He left formal corporate life in 1994, and opened a one-man consulting company in Victoria (Palmer Technologies Inc.) providing product planning, technical evaluation, and strategic planning services to a variety of international clients. He also acted as a technical consultant and expert witness in many patent infringement lawsuits and contract disputes. Roger has designed several products under contract for use in performance monitoring and navigation aboard marine vessels. He holds three patents. He has also published the industry-standard text book on bar code technology. He received his first amateur radio license (as VE3FBN) in 1962. He has a Canadian Advanced class license (as VE7AP), and a U.S. Extra class license (as AA7AB). Roger's other interests include sailboat racing, cruising, computers, and aviation. Most summers are spent cruising the West Coast of North America on board his trawler. Roger and his wife Chris live in Oak Bay, which is a sea-side village next to Victoria, B.C.

羅傑·帕爾默(Roger Palmer)出生於英國,成長於加拿大。他擁有麥克馬斯特大學(1969年)的電機工程學學位,以及華盛頓大學(1988年)的工商管理碩士學位。他是不列顛哥倫比亞省註冊的專業工程師,也是紐約的電機與電子工程師學會(IEEE)的終身會員。羅傑從8歲左右開始就一直在「玩弄電子」。從那時起,他一直參與「高科技」領域,並共同創辦了三家成功的電子公司。從1978年到1994年,他在華盛頓州埃弗雷特的Intermec公司從事各種條碼產品和技術的開發工作(先後擔任工程副總裁、市場總裁和研究總裁)。他於1994年離開正式的企業生活,並在維多利亞開設了一家獨立顧問公司(Palmer Technologies Inc.),為各種國際客戶提供產品規劃、技術評估和戰略規劃服務。他還擔任過許多專利侵權訴訟和合同糾紛的技術顧問和專家證人。羅傑曾經根據合同設計了幾款用於船舶性能監測和導航的產品,並擁有三項專利。他還出版了關於條碼技術的行業標準教材。他於1962年獲得了他的第一個業餘無線電執照(VE3FBN)。他擁有加拿大高級級別執照(VE7AP)和美國特級執照(AA7AB)。羅傑的其他興趣包括帆船比賽、巡航、計算機和航空。大多數夏天他都會乘坐自己的拖船在北美西海岸巡航。羅傑和他的妻子克里斯(Chris)居住在橡樹灣(Oak Bay),這是緊鄰不列顛哥倫比亞省維多利亞市的一個海濱村莊。
