Building and Designing Transistor Radios
A Beginner's Guide
R. H. Warring
- In
- his
- characteristic
- accessible
- and
- clear
- style,
- R.H.
- Warring
- offers
- a
- guide
- for
- the
- radio
- amateur
- to
- many
- of
- the
- things
- one
- ought
- to
- know
- when
- tackling
- a
- radio
- project.
- Warring
- describes
- and
- illustrates
- the
- design
- and
- working
- characteristics
- of
- the
- basic
- electronic
- 'blocks'
- from
- which
- radio
- receivers
- can
- be
- constructed
- and
- shows
- the
- reader
- how
- to
- incorporate
- additional
- simple
- circuits,
- such
- as
- volume
- and
- tone
- controls,
- and
- automatic
- gain
- control,
- to
- build
- upon
- these
- basic
- blocks.
- Straightforward
- calculations
- are
- provided
- to
- determine
- the
- values
- of
- components
- like
- resistors,
- capacitors
- and
- inductances
- to
- optimise
- your
- results.
- Building
- and
- Designing
- Transistor
- Radios
- will
- equip
- you
- with
- the
- skills
- and
- knowledge
- properly
- to
- understand
- transistor
- radios.
- Special
- attention
- is
- paid
- to
- the
- transistor,
- the
- most
- important
- component,
- which
- the
- author
- provides
- insightful
- advice
- on.
- By
- understanding
- the
- operating
- characteristics
- of
- the
- radio's
- different
- elements,
- the
- reader
- can
- learn
- how
- to
- devise
- circuits
- so
- that
- they
- perform
- most
- efficiently.
- With
- 80
- diagrams,
- no
- excessively
- complicated
- circuitry,
- and
- minimal
- mathematical
- calculations
- included,
- this
- book
- first
- published
- in
- 1977
- remains
- perfect
- for
- amateurs
- and enthusiasts.
