Louis Frenzel is a veteran engineer and educator who saw the communications field transform entirely during his career. The first edition of this book was published in the late 1970s/early 1980s. At that time: Before FM, before digital, there was AM

Essential reading for the practical RF engineer. 9/10. Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier (DSBSC)

His philosophy is simple: He understands that the student picking up this book might be intimidated by Fourier transforms or decibels. Frenzel’s genius lies in translating complex analog and digital theories into digestible, visual, and practical explanations.

Before FM, before digital, there was AM. Frenzel covers the standard AM, Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier (DSBSC), and Single Sideband (SSB) with surgical precision. He uses phasor diagrams—his favorite pedagogical tool—to show exactly how a carrier wave is altered by an intelligence signal. The chapters on AM transmitters and superheterodyne receivers are legendary for their block diagram analysis.
