This comprehensive462pages textbookand reference on the subject of radio frequency (RF) receiver design presents the concepts,mathematics anddesign for such systems.Chapters include discussions onsuperheterodynereceivers, dynamic range, mixers, complex coherent frequency synthesizers, automatic gain control and beat frequency oscillators and additional sections cover advanced topics like digital signal processing (DSP) and software definedradios (SDR)as well as electronic warfare (EW) receivers. Intended for electrical engineering students and engineers, this comprehensive volume contains360illustrations including complex block diagrams, photographs and schematics.Drenteais an electrical engineer with fifty yearsof experience in the field of RF engineering andhas worked for the MilitaryAvionics and Corporate divisions ofHoneywell and Hughes/Raytheon Systems.
Introduction
Early in 2010 I received an e-mail from my old friend Cornell Drentea asking if I could review a new text he was writing on RF Engineering and provide a short introduction. Without hesitation I agreed. What followed was a literary-technical journey into the depths of the RF engineering art which I might say is unprecedented. There are many outstanding texts on RF engineering in general and many more on specific topics. Few if any provide a novel-like narrative meant to be read cover to cover. Although not intended to be just a historic text or a cook book, its utility as a wealth of reference material becomes clear upon reading.
Cornell not only provides the answers tohow?andwhat?But also answers the often neglectedwhy?The book begins with a short history of radio and the key inventions that have led to today's state-of-the-art. Then he weaves history into state-of-the-art engineering taking the reader along a fascinating and very instructive journey. This reading should be recommended for a wide audience: advanced radio amateurs, engineering students, seasoned practicing engineering professionals, and anyone wishing to learn the nuts and bolts of radio engineering in one cohesive flowing narrative backed by advanced analysis tools and a thorough mathematical treatise where required.
Cornell combines world-class technical expertise with his own unique writing style and the art of RF design. In this book, you won't find page after page of complex non-derived equations. Rather Cornell distills very complex topics into plain English to the greatest possible extent without diluting the depth of coverage. Of course the narrative also combines the necessary mathematics of the trade, but avoids endless and unnecessary details. This can only be successfully accomplished by someone who has "been there and done that". It also requires world-class mentoring and teaching skills. The combination of these skills and expertise has culminated in this wonderful new text. Clearly this is the result of a labor of love from a wonderful teacher.
Therefore I am pleased and honored to introduce this seminal new work and encourage anyone reading this introduction to read this text cover to cover.

Foreword
Any author who attempts to comprehensively cover the many, many aspects of receiver design and their complex interrelationships is up to a gigantic job. To even know that certain aspects exist often takes decades of experience in not only the design and analysis of radio receivers, but most importantly in the lab bench experience gained in building actual receiver hardware. Cornell Drentea is an excellent author for this task.
Readers who are new to the topic of radio communications receivers will find the early chapters of this book of most value. As the experience of the reader grows the advanced material in subsequent chapters will make more sense. This book provides a comprehensive overview of how RF system requirements flow into the design as well as a hands-on use of state-of-the-art system design tools. It is ultimately an advanced study of practical receiver systems and circuit design.
One aspect of this book that I particularly like is Mr. Drentea's placing of much of this material in a historical context. It is important, if one is to make true progress in any field, tounderstand how that field of work has evolved into its current state. One of my favorite quotations is, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" (Santayana). We are fortunate that Mr. Drentea has a tremendous amount of experience and remembers how he got it. For those of us who cannot "remember the past" because we are new to a topic we must study its past to build a useful foundation. This leads to an appropriate paraphrase of Santayana, 'Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it." I commend Mr. Drentea for providing this reference.
Because the subject is so vast, Mr. Drentea chose to emphasize certain technical areas that cannot usually be found in one single publication and combine them with facts and experiences of his own in such a way as to provide a complete and accelerated learning reference. I find this to be a well thought out book with lots of material good for advanced engineering students as well as for practicing hardware and system design engineers. The format and approach are logical and easy to follow. This book is complete and in depth where it matters. It flows well and it has a lot of material that is not easily (or possibly) found anywhere else.
This work should be good for anyone considering an RF signal processor (radio) concept. A very useful reference, this book is particularly helpful to an RF systems engineer or operations planner in EW, reconnaissance, or a similar field dealing with a wide variety of signals, environments, and operating conditions. It gives powerful tools for trade-off of requirements against potential solution approaches.
This book provides an excellent knowledge base of well interlocked topics. It reflects the passion the author has put into what he does best. I appreciate the level of effort it took to put together a course of this magnitude. I was especially impressed with the presentation of this complex information content, and the great spirit which is put into it.

ARRL reviews Modern Communications Receiver Design and Technology By Cornell Drentea, Artech House, 2010
QEX Magazine Review by Bob Allison, WB1GCM, Test Engineer ARRL
"This comprehensive and well illustrated text book is a delight to read, unlike my oId college text books. Mind you, the theory is complex, but for anyone wishing to dig deeper into what makes a receiver work and work well, this book will answer all questions the reader is asking. It is quite suitable as a college text book but appropriate for the beginners and old-timers as well.
Though each chapter is very comprehensive, the mathematics used to describe the various concepts gets right to the point and is not overwhelming, as it can be in other text books. Mathematical proofs are for mathematicians, not for me. The lack of proofs leaves more space for more usable information, and this book has plenty of that.
With Cornell Drentea's marvelous style of writing, Receiver Design and Technology will educate, excite, and inspire many. This text book should be used on every college campus that offers such a course. There is a great demand for RF engineers today, and this book will undoubtedly inspire students to become engineers. While I can lament the fact that I didn't have a text book such as this one thirty years ago, I am happy to have this text book today."
