LENKS RF HANDBOOK – Operation And TroubleshootingWritten by John D Lenk
John D Lenk was a prolific technical author (although I cannot establish what his personal professional qualifications are!) for well over 40 years, writing at least 70 books covering an amazingly wide span of electronics. He is often referred to as the creator of the electronics world “best seller!”
His style of writing and presentation of technical information in a way that a “hands on technician” will understand is certainly a breath of fresh air. So often in this type of book, information is either lacking or extremely theoretical. This publication has “meat on the bones” and is practical.

Now you may think “Good God, this book was published WAY BACK in the early 1990’s, so what good will it be to me?”
This is no “RF For Dummies” type of book, it covers a broad range of RF related topics and goes into REAL detail. Some parts are not so relevant to our part of the world (Frequency band plans and analog television signals for example) but there is still a lot of interesting reading if you like to go to sleep with a good technical book! For example, learn how to efficiently troubleshoot a PLL circuit, learn how to use an RF Scope, make SWR measurements (done the proper way!) and so much more ….
No pretty photographs but PLENTY of clear concise block diagrams, schematics and testing down to component level (transistors for example, removal of bias as part of a test diagnosis procedure)
While not a “text book” you could do far worse than this book to learn about the world of Radio Frequencies
