From the best-selling author and editor of the CRC Electronics Handbook Series, The RF Transmission Systems Handbook discusses the design, operation, and maintenance of high-power RF amplifiers, transmission lines, and antennas for broadcast, scientific, and industrial use. The material covers devices and systems producing at least one kW of RF output power and includes a wide range of installations that use both semiconductor and vacuum tube technology. Although broadcast systems are emphasized, many other applications are covered in detail, including satellites, industrial applications, mobile radio base stations, and radio navigation.
