Six-Volume Shrink-Wrapped Book Set
Our Handbook
In 1926, ARRL introduced the first edition of The Radio Amateur’s Handbook, written by F. E. Handy. Since then, each edition has been recognized as a benchmark for radio communications learning and applied knowledge. This 97th edition of The ARRL Handbook is your complete guide to radio experimentation, discovery, and innovation. It is the Handbook -- written by radio amateurs for everyone with a desire to advance the pursuit of wireless technology.
Key Topics
- Radio electronics theory and principles
- Circuit design and equipment
- Radio signal transmission and propagation
- Digital and analog modulation and protocols
- Antennas and transmission lines
- Construction practices
Who reads The Handbook? Amateur Radio operators, or “hams;” professional wireless communication engineers and system designers; electrical engineers; students and instructors of engineering, physics, and geoscience.
