Book Reviews of Spectrum and Network Measurements
Book Review: Excellent "manual" for the working man
Summary: 5 Stars
If you find yourself working in an RF-related field but don't have much of an "elmer" to "show you the ropes," get this book! It takes the theory you learned in school about distortion, modulation, impedance mismatches, etc. and ties them all together with practical examples of why you care (e.g., from IP2 or IP3 it's trivial to estimate harmonic power levels) -- and oftentimes some historical explanations of why common standards/techniques are the way they are when, given contemporary technology, it's no longer obvious.
I like the level of math used in this book... if you haven't gone through the "hard core" RF classes in school, they're enough to motivate the results without getting bogged down in lengthy derivations, whereas if you go through all the math in school, you'll find many "old friends" that have been somewhat simplified to keep the analysis only complicated enough to obtain useful results. (E.g., there's little point 99.9% of the time worrying about distortions models above say, 3rd order.)
I had this book on my shelf for several years before I had a chance to sit down, crack it open, and prepare myself for a dry (albeit useful, based on prior recommendations) tome. I was pleasantly surprised to find just how readable the book is -- Witte is a gifted author, being able to clearly explain sometimes-complicated topics.
