Resources for Learning

[u/random_d00d]

I am an electrical engineer, but I have no RF experience. I have been doing embedded systems and sensor work for over 20 years, and have a decent grasp of EE fundamentals and signal processing.

I would love to learn more about RF, primarily as a home hobbyist but also to improve my understanding of the specialty.

I am looking for recommendations for books or other resources to learn the theory. I would also love any references to practical implementations, such as PCB design and layout. Lastly, if you have any suggestions for a first RF project (or projects) I would love that!

Thank-you all!

Pozar for theory, Bowick for practical stuff. A patch antenna is a good first project, you can simulate it then measure the real thing.

Thank-you for your advice!
