Re: What level math is in the RF design books?


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

OK...I'll start a fire here...

I believe that empirical RF designs will outperform mathematically designed RF hardware every time.

Let the flame war begin :)

Seriously, I personally do not go beyond using frequency determining math to calculate resonance

and transistor bias resistors using ohms law and 0.6? transistor voltage drops.

Seems I always end up adjusting circuit values after what the math tells me to do.

YMMV...as usual.

What level of math course would I need to study to learn how to comprehend the equations presented in
design books like Introduction to Radio Frequency Design?? by? W7ZOI.

I have been tinkering with circuits from these books for 50 years but never really learned what is in the math.

There are all sorts of online math course now so.....

What level of math class would teach this gobbledygoop?

and

Do any of you? ACTUALLY use this level of math to build radios or is the math only used by
the guys designing the transistors????
