Are you planning to build or design an RF circuit?, 24 May 2001
By Dave - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Essential Guide to RF and Wireless (Essential Guides (Prentice Hall)) (Paperback)
This book is NOT for you if you plan on building or designing an RF circuit. It is definetely not for the TECHNICAL consumer. But it is meant for people who just want to get the gist of RF technology. This review is to warn people who are planning to get into the area of RF. You may want to purchase RF Circuit Design by Chris Bowick instead. If your into the theory of RF, avoid this book.
3 stars and no less because it was well written. No more no less.
And Carl Weisman was right, when he said "hide the book from engineers."

Excellent overview for the non-specialist, 3 Mar 2000
By Amrit Tiwana "www.bus.iastate.edu/tiwana" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Essential Guide to RF and Wireless (Essential Guides (Prentice Hall)) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent overview for a person who does not have a formal background in wireless and RF. I think that the author has used good judgement in balancing depth of coverage and breadth of topics. I would strongly recommend it...surely worth the money. Competing titles that I've seen are not meant for the newbie, and many such as Newton's are good but do not solely focus on the wireless aspect of things. I would hope that the author will bring in more coverage of WAP-like protocols and wireless PDA technologies like the ones used---unsuccesfully or succesfully---in the new Palm devices. Heartily Recommended.

A must read for investors in the wireless industry!, 16 Feb 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Essential Guide to RF and Wireless (Essential Guides (Prentice Hall)) (Paperback)
I found The Essential Guide to RF and Wireless to be very helpful in understanding the basic concepts and terminology of the wireless industry. As an avid investor, I have in the past invested in companies that are involved in the manufacturing of wireless components without a clue of how they worked. I just knew that wireless was a rapidly growing industry and is quickly becoming an integral part of our society. This book provided me a basic understanding of how wireless works in a very non-technical matter. It was very easy to read with lots of examples and industry tidbits thrown in. The author takes no liberties regarding the knowledge of his readers and explains even the most basic concepts. This may seem mundane to the more adept readers, but very much appreciated by those of us with little or no knowledge of the wireless industry. I have highly recommended this book to my family, friends, and co-workers and would suggest that investors hoping to benefit from the tremendous performance of wireless stocks give it a read.
