Impedance Matching

HI!
I need this book :" Design of Impedance-Matching Networks for Radio-Frequency and Microwave Amplifiers " by Pieter L. D. Abrie

u can look at electronics by nelson

This book can be bought from Artech House along with allot of other "requested" books that say "copyright" on the first page.

Why the hell does everyone want pirated books? You would think with all this expensive RF hardware and software that one could afford to buy a book. If you have ever written any kind of technical reports or presentations you may often spend 1 or 2 days per page working out and verifying examples (in case of this book it is 375 pages). I have both of Abrie's books and his AMPSA software. I have met him at MTTS and he is a good guy with his own small company. I have met most of the authors of the RF books on my shelf and these guys often have one-person companies or work as consultants They don't make vast sums of money, and certainly not much off the books they wrote. You, your company, or your library should buy the book.

On another rant, this is an "international electronics forum" and I assume it is hosted in China (where it seems intellectual property is not recognized). There are allot of requests for manuals so I assume allot of the RF software is pirated.

Dear madengr,

I know that asking for pirated books is illegal, however for some persons they want the book to decide if they need to buy it or not. For others, the book price 100S-200S is quite unaffordable specially for people in poor countries where the average income of a person is less than 5S/day. So, he has no options but to try to find the book at one of his friends or on the internet. We all respect the autors of the books and we really appreciate the large effort they spent to prepare a book. but for some people he just can't spend 2 months salary to buy a book !

You said that RF equipments are expensive, yes. but do you really think that all people working in RF mak expensive practical circuits.

Best Regards,
