  A Practical Guide to the Principles of Radio Design. 
  There are many books on the subject of radio design, but the majority of them are either too basic and 
  do not really give enough information, or they immediately launch into advanced theory that, unless 
  you are a math genius, is just confusing and unhelpful. 
  How often have you searched for information in a reference book and found that the relevant section 
  opens with something like: 
  “It may be shown that…blah, blah {some huge and very complicated mathematical calculation}”?
  Do your eyes start to glaze over and you rapidly lose interest? Sometimes there are several pages of 
  it. Undoubtedly it is technically correct, but if you have a problem to solve, you are not interested in 
  the derivation of theory; all you want is the answer.
  Sometimes, a friend or colleague is able to explain in a few simple words what the reference bo
