35 / 100

This 93rd edition of the ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications
2016 continues its long history of keeping pace with the fast-
moving radio technology employed around the world. This book
covers a wealth of information: the fundamentals of electronics and
radio signals, construction practices, antennas and propagation,
equipment and circuit design, and other useful reference
information.
Each chapter is full of practical hands-on information to expand your
knowledge as an amateur radio operator and experimenter. There
are projects for all skill levels, from simple accessories and small
power supplies, to amplifiers and high-gain antennas. Readers will
find not only the fundamentals of radio electronics both analogue
and digital but also practical circuit and antenna design, computer-
aided design, digital operating modes, equipment troubleshooting,
and reducing RF interference. Many projects and construction
articles are included to help enhance your station and expand your
participation as an active radio experimenter.
Dozens of contributors have helped to ensure that this edition
the ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications 2016 is updated
and revised to reflect the latest advances and technologies. There
are many new projects and much new information. New this
year you will find details of Beacon transmitters for VHF/UHF, a
comprehensive new RF connector identification chart, an up-to-
the-minute treatment of fractional-n frequency synthesizers, a
high-altitude APRS tracker and SDR Knob Box and the ARRL Lab
Test Procedures Manual. You will even find on the CD a ground
breaking article on light wave transmitting and receiving. There is,
of course, much more in the 1280 pages of this great book.

ARRL Handbook 2016
The ARRL Antenna Book is the book by which all other antenna
books are judged. First published in 1939, it has everything you
need in the nearly a 1000 pages, to design your own complete
antenna system.
The ARRL Antenna Book is a single resource covering antenna
theory, design and construction, and practical treatments and
projects. There are hundreds of antenna designs: wire, vertical,
portable and mobile, and new high-performance VHF/UHF Yagi
designs. Radio amateurs continue to make contributions to the
state of the art in antenna design and construction. The available
tools have grown in sophistication by leaps and bounds over the
past years. Antenna modelling with the low-cost or free programs
available to amateurs has completely changed antenna design and
development. A large set of antenna models designed for use with
EZNEC 6.0 demo software are also included.
The 23rd edition has many new projects including: Multiband HF
antennas from 160 through 10 metres, a simple omnidirectional
satellite antenna system and Stealthy and portable antenna designs
for home and away. You will also find even more Moxon antenna
projects on CD-ROM. There is new information on how short vertical
antennas affect the performance of antenna systems, a new section
on grounding and bonding, both key to effective station design and
protection and an updated Propagation chapter now includes a
discussion of MF and LF propagation. There is, of course, even
more expanded content on CD-ROM, including references and
classic articles on antennas.
