RF engineering books

What books would you recommend for learning RF engineering ?

[Yansi]

Look at my thread here, some RF books mentioned there: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/rf-microwave/rf-transistor-amplifier-design-any-suitable-literature/

Peruse some of these threads for good jumping-off points:

I know it's a lot, but there's a lot of useful information in these threads. I personally have the RF Circuit Design book by Bowick and Experimental Methods in RF Design, and like both. I am an amateur, not a professional, so that may play into my opinion of these books. I also have downloaded versions of the more advanced books such as Radio Engineering by Terman, but I have not read them.

IMO, old HP(reprinted by agilent) app note 95 would be a great start to learn RF. It covers s-params, vswr, stability,gain and numerous fundamentals. I also recommend you take a look at basic EM theory before start. There are many MOOC online that gives you basic understanding of EM theory.

The two I like are:

Planar Microwave Engineering, Thomas Lee

Microwave Engineering, David Pozar

I see Pozar mentioned quite a bit on recommended book questions and it is probably the most viewed RF book at our university library. It is a pretty popular book to be used in undergraduate EM classes. You can also come by it as a PDF floating around the internet.

It always helps to have some lab examples (homegrown if need be) to help connect the theory in the books. You will find that it also helps to have the proper equipment to push your knowledge. There are big differences from the 'ideal' circuits you will study compared to real world measurements.

What about RF microelectronics 2nd edition (Behzad Razavi) or Radio-Frequency integrated circuit engineering (Cam Nguyen)?

[MikeLogix]

I second this one.
