What would be a good book(text or otherwise) to use as a primer on RF? What is your background? How much depth do you want (i.e. how long, how many equations)? Do you want communications theory (which often includes CDMA), or are you interested in RF hardware? Sadly I know of no overall textbook which effectively covers all of these areas, hence all of the questions. Clark

Hi Cooters, I have a computer engineering back ground, and don't know much about electro-magnatic theories. I find The ARRL UHF/Microwave Experimenter's Manual as a good book for my background to understand radio. ISBN 0-87259-312-6 This is what's written on the back of the book: This manual is written for the growing numbers of radio amateurs who are discovering that there is life on the wavelengths below our 70-cm band. Technicians and engineers will find this book particularly useful as the basis for understanding microwave technology. Those individuals with some experience in UHF and microwave work will certainly recognize familiar names among the many experts who contributed to each of the twelve chapters: A Brief History, Safety, Propagation, Microwave Devices, Transmission Media, Design Techniques, System Design, Microwave Fabrication Techniques, Antennas and Feed Lines, Earth-Moon-Earth Communications, Getting Started in Microwave Measurements, and Tackling Microwaves with Microcomputers. This is a very practical book. It's not a text book, and it doesn't say anything about CDMA. Khan
