NAVIGATING THIS SITESo you don't become confused, this site is largely set up on a basis of "directories". On the left hand side are "clickable" navigation links which take you to things like basic electronics, antennas, amplifiers, data sheets, downloads, filters, oscillators and receivers etc. Each directory has its own navigation bars to different topics under that general heading. Also each topic has at the end, and indeed often throughout the topic, related topic links. It's that easy. If you haven't already done so, I suggest you right click your mouse now and "create a short cut" for your desk top.
This site is so popular that from 1st January, 2002 I have had to double the site's bandwidth requirements simply because of the sheer volume of traffic. This has led to an increase of over 90% in site costs. Please keep that fact in mind.
GENERAL INFORMATIONFirstly I make some solid recommendations, then give you an overview of the principal directory structure of this site. The costs of maintaining and expanding this electronics tutorial site are supported by modest commissions derived from the sales of excellent technical references and titles I personally use and recommend as well as a few donations from kind souls - the future of the internet!
McGraw-Hill Professional Publishing have been sending me a number of interesting titles to review personally. I will of course present more of these book reviews as time permits. A few other responsible and highly experienced people are also offering reviews, would you like to offer a review of your favourite technical book?. My latest review is The Car Stereo Cookbook. *AND* coming soon - reviews of Robotics!
Would you like to be kept up to date on my book reviews? If so send me a contact email to be added to the book-review mailing list. No cost or obligation, just a free review brought to your attention.
DICK PURDIE VK2ARP - [SK]Also would you like to read a little about my Dad, Dick Purdie VK2ARP [SK] who taught me so much? Even radio! An interesting fellow indeed.
NEED TO WRITE TO ME?If you need to write to me, Ian Purdie VK2TIP, in regard to any matter on this electronics tutorials site PLEASE read this page first.
CONTRIBUTE TO electronics tutorialsAll I require is a plain vanilla text file (your-file.txt) of your written copy and, gif or jpg files of your schematics and photographs. Don't worry if you think your writing isn't terribly brilliant, that's what I'm for. Most times I need to edit work either for space, clarity or simply making it search engine friendly.

ARE YOU REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT LEARNING electronics?If you seriously want to learn about electronics then the first thing I sincerely recommend you do is buy yourself this excellent reference book (below) through my Amazon affiliate program. This will continue to prove a good initial investment in your ongoing education. As you can see it has comprehensive topics and is very modestly priced for a publication of its calibre. Other recommended titles appear to the left.
RF CIRCUIT DESIGN- Chris Bowick, WD4C
I have never read a better book on RF design. Chris's book is a constant reference for the serious RF designer. You will be amazed at the quality and the quantity of the content. As someone commented, "This is THE book to learn how to use a Smith Chart" - 176 pages
ONE OF A NUMBER OF UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS
Hi Ian,
Just a quick note to say thanks for the book-shop department. I took your advice and bought the book by Chris Bowick. It's great. The material is very well presented and it is just right for about every level from beginner to engineer. Good choice!
Regards,
Larry L. Beavers CPBE W1GTA, Assistant Chief Engineer, WBZ Newsradio 1030

ELECTRONICS Questions And AnswersIf you are involved in electronics then consider joining our "Electronics Questions and Answers" news group to share your thorny questions and answers and help out your colleagues.
The absolute fastest way to get your questions answered and yes, I DO read the posts.
This is a mutual help group with a very professional air about it. I've learn't things. Not for absolute newcomers to ask very basic questions already covered by these tutorials BUT it is an excellent learning resource for lurkers.
Presently [March, 2005], there are now over 1,100+ subscribers and it's FREE! Join our "Electronics Questions and Answers" news and discussion group NOW!
ANTENNASThis section is completely new. The first instalment on antennas is about the basics of antennas including quarter wave verticals, half wave dipoles, folded dipoles and collinear arrays. Much more will be added over time.
BASIC electronics tutorialsStarting out you need to cover basic electronics which encompasses the topics of ohms law, voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, inductance, reactance, impedance and Q. Further topics in these basic electronics tutorials are power supply basics as well as digital basics.
