本书是由Steve Ford(WB8IMY)编写的《业余无线电入门》的中文译本。
本书是一本业余无线电爱好者入门阅读的书籍，全书共9章，它从爱好者最关心的器材设备、常用的通联方式等角度切入，介绍了很多业余无线电入门者必备的知识，如电台的选择、天线的简单制作、各种通联方式等，对于HAM新手有很强的引导作用。在美国，这本书受到了广大业余无线电爱好入门者的欢迎。
本书除了适合HAM新手阅读外，还是一本轻松生动地介绍电波传播知识和各种业余通信方式的科普读物，适合对相关知识感兴趣的学生、电子爱好者阅读。

在业余无线电领域，通常把使用最高不超过5W的射频功率来进行的通信称为小功率通信，Q简语中用QRP来表示降低发信机功率，因此小功率通信又称QRP通信，它是业余无线电通信的一个重要分支。
很多QRP通信爱好者热衷于自制QRP设备，用自己的DIY作品通联全球。本书收录了美国业余无线电转播联盟(ARRL)两本著名的杂志QST和QEX中刊登的关于多波段QRP收发信机、电台辅助设备及小型天线的经典制作文章。相信这些文章将能够帮助QRP爱好者们把自己的小功率通信设备打造得更完美。
本书介绍的案例的作者都是QRP领域的资深专家，内容指导性强，非常适合业余无线电爱好者、从事电子设计的技术人员以及相关专业的师生学习和参考。

业余无线电通信 从1994年开始出版，已经成为业余无线电爱好者的入门工具书。 本书是由业余无线电家童效勇（BA1AA）和陈方（BA4RC）为广大业余无线电编写的业余无线电通信入门教材，书中系统地介绍了开设、操作业余无线电台的相关知识和法律法规，主要内容包括：业余无线电通信简史、业余无线电通信操作实践、收发报技术的自我训练、业余无线电奖励证书和竞赛活动、不同业余无线电波段的运用、业余短波天线、业余无线电收发信机、依法设置和使用业余无线电台等。业余无线电通信 既可作为开展业余无线电活动的教材，也可作为业余无线电爱好者的自修读本和手册。

THE DEFINITIVE ANTENNA REFERENCE--FULLY REVISED AND EXPANDED! Design and build your own antennas with the help of this unique guide. Updated and revised to provide clear answers to questions frequently asked by hobbyists and electronics technicians, Practical Antenna Handbook, Fifth Edition blends theoretical concepts with hands-on experience--requiring only high school mathematics Reorganized to flow logically from broad physical principles to specific antenna design and construction techniques, the book begins by covering the fundamentals. Then the half-wave dipole is discussed both as an excellent antenna in its own right and as a conceptual tool for predicting the performance of other designs. Transmission line impedance matching techniques--and a companion Smith chart tutorial--lead into "must have" accessories for tuning, monitoring, and troubleshooting antenna system performance. Other tools, such as antenna modeling software and network analyzer add-ons for PCs and Macs, are addressed, and concluding chapters offer fresh insights into support structures and installation techniques. NEW TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE: Characteristics of all-driven and parasitic arrays Beverages and small MF/HF receiving loops Top-loaded shunt-fed towers and other verticals Theory and design of Yagi beams Effect of real ground on propagation and antenna patterns, impedance, and efficiency Lightning protection and four kinds of ground systems Zoning and restrictive covenants COVERS A WIDE VARIETY OF ANTENNAS: Dipoles and inverted-Vs Quads, delta, and NVIS loops Wire arrays (bobtail curtain, half-square, rhombic) Verticals and shunt-fed towers Rotatable Yagi beams MF/HF receiving antennas (flag, pennant, K9AY, Beverage) Mobile and portable antennas VHF/UHF/microwave antennas And many more GO TO WWW.MHPROFESSIONAL.COM/CARR5 FOR:
