Understanding radio communications systems unlocks a new way to
look at the world and the radio waves that connect it. Through
easy-to-understand instruction and a variety of hands-on projects,
this book gives the reader an intuitive understanding of how radio
waves propagate, how information is encoded in radio waves, and how
radio communications networks are constructed. This book also
focuses on the world of amateur, or "ham," radio, a global network
of hobbyists that experiment and communicate with radio waves. The
reader can learn what amateur radio is, how one can obtain an
amateur radio license, and how various pieces of amateur radio
hardware work. Rather than overwhelm with formulas and numerical
approaches, this book presents an easy-to-follow qualitative
approach to the theory aspects of radio-perfect for those with
little to no knowledge of electromagnetism, signal processing, or
hardware development. Instead, instruction focuses on hands-on
learning. Radio waves are easy and inexpensive to manipulate with
modern hardware, so the examples throughout this text provide ample
opportunity to develop an understanding of such hardware. A special
focus is given to applications of radio communications in the
modern world. In every chapter, the reader gains new insight into
different radio communications systems and the hardware and
software that makes it all possible. Projects include using a
software-defined radio to download live images of the Earth from
weather satellites, Arduino-based digital radio communications
networks, making amateur radio contacts, and more. What You'll
Learn: * Encode information in radio waves * Obtain an amateur
radio license * Use important pieces of radio communications
hardware, such as antennas, handheld transceivers, software-defined
radios, radio repeaters, and more Who This Book Is For Anyone
interested in modern communications, from high school and college
students pursuining STEM to professionals looking to broaden their
understandings of radio
