What level math is in the RF design books?


 

Good news:?
Algebra for designing and biasing bipolar circuits.

Not so good news:?
Partial differential equations for biasing FET circuits, though I¡¯d probably just copy an oscillator circuit rather than design one from scratch.

In W7ZOI¡¯s books just algebra, I think. Generally speaking approximations are used for calculating collector current. It¡¯s all good, don¡¯t worry about the math. I had hard core semiconductor physics in school and never really used it.?

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????
