Radio and electronic equipment design and calculations /3rd revised and enlarged edition/

A hardware-oriented handbook on electronic components and equipment design. Traditional components are dealt with: resistors, capacitors, inductance coils, transformers, cabling, moisture proofing, shock absorbers, thermal insulation - but not vacuum tubes (however, mounts for vacuum tubes are discussed). Coaxial and waveguide microwave hardware, printed circuits, and integrated circuits (beam-lead devices, MOSFETs, thin and thick films, hybrid IC and LSI) are covered. Cost-conscious design, materials selection, reliability, and equipment design to render the operator's job easier are also discussed.
