All, Introduction to Radio Frequency Design by Wes Hayward arrived Thursday. It applies community-college level complex algebra, linear (matrix) algebra, LaPlace transforms, and partial differential equations to communications circuit design. A good part of the transmission-line chapter can be mastered with only graphing skills. IRFD adds an extra level of power to EMRFD. While EMRFD stands very well alone, a person with even a nodding acquaintance with complex algebra and matrices from a high-school algebra class can increase filter analysis and small-signal transistor design abilities using Introduction to Radio Frequency Design. To avoid confusion with current, electronics design uses j where math books use i in complex numbers. Otherwise the notation generally matches. If anyone's struggling to regain the math skills a group this size should be able to assist. 73, Steven

All,

Introduction to Radio Frequency Design by Wes Hayward arrived
Thursday. It applies community-college level complex algebra,
linear (matrix) algebra, LaPlace transforms, and partial
differential equations to communications circuit design. A good
part of the transmission-line chapter can be mastered with only
graphing skills. IRFD adds an extra level of power to EMRFD.

While EMRFD stands very well alone, a person with even a nodding
acquaintance with complex algebra and matrices from a high-school
algebra class can increase filter analysis and small-signal
transistor design abilities using Introduction to Radio Frequency
Design. To avoid confusion with current, electronics design uses j
where math books use i in complex numbers. Otherwise the notation
generally matches.

If anyone's struggling to regain the math skills a group this size
should be able to assist.
