“RF Electronics: Design and Simulation” by Cornelis Jan Kikkert is a comprehensive book covering the design and simulation of radio frequency (RF) electronic circuits. It is widely used for teaching RF and microwave circuit design to final-year undergraduate students and in postgraduate courses.

The book is practical and not just theoretical, providing real-world examples and simulation guidance using modern design tools. It emphasizes using simulation software to validate circuit performance before building physical prototypes, saving both time and cost.

With over 30 years of experience in electronic design for telecommunications, broadcasting, and other applications, Professor Kikkert shares valuable insights and practical knowledge, making this book a great reference for both students and practicing engineers in the RF electronics field.
