They printed this massive and comprehensive tome known as The ARRL Antenna Book. The first thing I t The American Radio Relay League or ARRL is a group of people that partake in radio signaling as a hobby or for other reasons. It has several precautions that you should follow when dealing with antenna systems and other things. As with all good books on technical matters, The ARRL Antenna Book opens with Safety. As it says on the cover, this book is the ultimate reference guide to Antenna systems. The American Radio Relay League or ARRL is a group of people that partake in radio signaling as a hobby or for other reasons. If you are unsure whether or not this book is for you, many libraries have it in their collections or you can contact your local amateur radio club, whose members will most likely have a copy or two for you to review.more The book comes with a CD containing a number of articles previously published in QST (the ARRL's magazine) as well as project details from the book. Casual readers, those with a limited knowledge of electronics, will probably find the material challenging. There are many diagrams, graphs, and photographs that augment the book's text, which makes it an interesting and informative read, especially for those with a strong background in RF (radio frequency) and electrical engineering. The editors have attempted to cover as much ground as possible in the book's twenty eight chapters, making choices about how deep and detailed a particular topic will receive. That is not to say that that book does not provide useful information. The editors have attempted to cover as much ground as possible in the book's twenty e Recommended as a book to keep on the shelf for those with a strong electronics background who build antenna systems or wish to more fully understand how radio frequency waves are transmitted and received.Įven at 993 pages, this book is not and cannot be the ultimate reference guide to antennas, transmission lines, and radio wave propagation.
