Building and Designing Transistor Radios

In hischaracteristic accessible and clear style, R.H. Warring offers a guide for theradio amateur to many of the things one ought to know when tackling aradio project. Warring describes and illustrates the design and workingcharacteristics of the basic electronic 'blocks' from which radio receivers canbe constructed and shows the reader how to incorporate additional simplecircuits, such as volume and tone controls, and automatic gain control, tobuild upon these basic blocks. Straightforward calculations are providedto determine the values of components like resistors, capacitors andinductances to optimise your results.Building andDesigning Transistor Radios will equip you with the skills and knowledge properly to understandtransistor radios. Special attention is paid to the transistor, the mostimportant component, which the author provides insightful advice on. Byunderstanding the operating characteristics of the radio's different elements,the reader can learn how to devise circuits so that they perform mostefficiently. With 80 diagrams, no excessively complicated circuitry, andminimal mathematical calculations included, this book first published in 1977remains perfect for amateurs and enthusiasts.
