Electronics Explained

Do not spend time reading about the radio and the old hams - that's history! Industry veteran, Louis Frenzel, gives you the real scoop on electronic foundations as they are today. Rather than tearing electronics, the author takes a system-level view. For example, you will not learn how to make a circuit.

This practical application-driven viewpoint is unprecedented. This book touches upon TV, audio, satellite, radio, wireless communication, and networking. All of this is a hobbyist, student, or engineer.

• A fresh look at how electronics work

• Learn about the inner workings of your HDTV, cell phone, and video game console
