About this Book

A

BOUT THIS BOOK

This textbook was developed in conjunction with the GRF-

1300 RF & Communication Trainer and the GSP-730 3GHz
spectrum analyzer as an RF communications education system.
It not only offers detailed examples, but also the practical
knowledge necessary for RF measurements, such as spectrum
analyzer principals, as well as AM and FM communication
systems.

For you to easily understand the contents of this textbook,

we have included as many pictures and diagrams as possible to
strengthen your comprehension.

This book is divided into a teacher version and two student

versions. All experiment results are included in the teacher
edition. In addition, chapters with an asterisk (*) indicate
additional text for advanced reading not present in the student
addition. Students will not be affected by the omission of the
additional text. To further help students, the student edition
will contain a “Notes” section in these missing areas.
