Description
Joe Carr has provided radio amateurs and short-wave listeners with the definitive design guide for sending and receiving radio signals
with Antenna Toolkit 2nd edition.
Together with the powerful suite of CD software, the reader will have a complete solution for constructing
or using an antenna - bar the actual hardware! The software provides a simple Windows-based aid to carrying out the design calculations
at the heart of successful antenna design. All the user needs to do is select the antenna type and set the frequency - a much more fun
and less error prone method than using a conventional calculator to solve formulae.
The new edition has been revised to include further
cases of propagation, additional antennas and also two new chapters - Small Loop Antennas (a topic of considerable interest, which has
been the subject of much recent debate in the amateur radio press); and Yagi Beam Antennas (widely used at HF and VHF). The CD software
has also been updated.
Joe Carr's expertise in the area of antenna design is legendary. Antenna designers, whether hobbyist or technician,
can be assured they need look no further than Antenna Toolkit for the complete guide to understanding the practicalities of using and
designing antennas today.
Audience:
Technicians and enthusiasts (short wave listening, ham radio and electronics).
