This book describes and illustrates the design and working characteristics of the basic electronic 'blocks' from which radio receivers can be constructed. It also shows how to incorporate additional simple circuits, such as volume and tone controls, automatic gain control etc., in order to improve the basic design. No excessively complicated circuitry has been included, and mathematical calculations have been kept to a minimum.  The author details the various combinations possible for producing simple sets with good performance characteristics. Each 'building block' is dealt with separately - aerials, circuits, detectors, amplifiers, to output stages powering loudspeakers. Basic receiver designs are also included, up to superhets with AM or FM detectors. Where appropriate, it is shown how straightforward calculations can be made to determine values of various components - such as resistors, capacitors and inductances - for optimum results. Special attention is paid to the most important component, the transistor, including details of Field Effect Transistors (FETs). Easily understood descriptions are given of how they are made and how they work, and (most importantly from a radio constructor's point of view) a further chapter describes their operating characteristics and how to devise circuits to get them operating most efficiently.  The eighty diagrams in this book play a vital part in explaining its text, as well as providing numerous practical circuits to construct. It is with the help of these that the amateur can hope to build successful - and satisfying - circuits.

(This is a basic book for anyone who wants or needs to gain an understanding ofthe components and circuitry which combine to make up this modern field oftechnical expertise. It is of particularvalue to anyone embarking on electronicsfor the first time at hobby level, or for thewould-be practitioner who is still in needof some grounding in the elements of thesubject.Each chapter is clearly set out and dealswith a particular aspect of electronics.The accompanying definitions, simplemathematical equations and formulae,and the explicit line drawings make eachstage fully intelligible to the layman. Italso offers him the opportunity to build upand experiment with transistorized circuitry in 'breadboard' or printed-circuitform.The big problem that faces most beginners is interpreting circuit diagrams in order to make an accurate working circuit. The author describes and illustrates fully the meaning of symbols, layouts and various methods of construction, includingtagboard assembly, breadboards andprinted circuits. There are also helpfulpractical tips on circuit assembly.Careful study of this book will ensure acomprehensive understanding of howmodern electronic components operateand also the working of radio, television,etc., and the function of transformers andbatteries. It will also provide the groundwork which will make possible the understanding of the usually more elaborate circuits described in so many of the books and magazines dealing with modern electronics)

<p>In his characteristic accessible and clear style, R.H. Warring offers a guide for the radio amateur to many of the things one ought to know when tackling a radio project. Warring describes and illustrates the design and working characteristics of the basic electronic 'blocks' from which radio receivers can be constructed and shows the reader how to incorporate additional simple circuits, such as volume and tone controls, and automatic gain control, to build upon these basic blocks. Straightforward calculations are provided to determine the values of components like resistors, capacitors and inductances to optimise your results. Building and Designing Transistor Radios will equip you with the skills and knowledge properly to understand transistor radios. Special attention is paid to the transistor, the most important component, which the author provides insightful advice on. By understanding the operating characteristics of the radio's different elements, the reader can learn how to devise circuits so that they perform most efficiently. With 80 diagrams, no excessively complicated circuitry, and minimal mathematical calculations included, this book first published in 1977 remains perfect for amateurs and enthusiasts.</p>
