title: The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications 2011
author: Arrl
description: The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications is the most comprehensive guide to radio electronics and experimentation. The book is part reference and part applied theory, filled with practical treatments of basic electronic fundamentals, RF design, digital and software radio technology, and antenna construction. The ARRL Handbook strikes the perfect balance between presentations of time-tested material and coverage of the expanding scope of Amateur Radio and the state-of-the-art.
  
  For more than eight decades, The Handbook has empowered radio amateurs and professionals alike with is do-it-yourself approach, finding its way onto workbenches and operating desks, and into technical libraries and institutions.
  
  Always Revised! This eighty-eighth edition includes new topics, new projects, and expanded content.
  
  CD-ROM Included. The CD-ROM at the back of the book includes all of the fully-searchable text and illustrations in the printed book, as well as companion software, PC board templates and other support files.
