Résumé
The Science of Radio explains the working and charts the
development of the ordinary AM radio receiver, which has
become an integral part of our lives in the 80 years since
its invention. As well as showing the reader the growth of
technology in this century, the story of AM radio can
provide a unique insight into the basics of electrical
engineering, making the primary concepts and applications
visual and comprehensible. Taking a "top down" approach to
the subject, Nahin starts with a broad overview of radio as
a sociological and technological phenomenon, then describes
specific advances in research that made radio possible,
moving through deeper levels of technical detail as the
story progresses. Readers will see how various concepts and
theories are combined to achieve specific practical
results. And the book's "just in time" method of
introducing mathematical and physical theory only as needed
to understand a topic, helps readers gain a firm grasp of
often elusive material. By focusing specifically on the
workings of AM radio, The Science of Radio offers both a
fascinating history of radio as an information and
entertainment medium and a practical, applications-oriented
introduction to electrical engineering. This second
edition, written the same witty and accessible style as the
first, also includes illustrative examples based on the
popular MATLAB and Electronics Workbench programs now
commonly used in engineering courses, as well as new
technical material on differential amplifiers, more
end-of-chapters problems, and additional historical
discussion.
