Hi!
I am in last year of high and want to study for Telecommunications
Engeenering in university.
What books or tutorials would you recommend me to read to learn the
basics of electronic and telecom engeneering like circuits/logic, dsp,
etc, but to be understood by someone with highschool knowledge of math
and physics????
Thanks in advance!

Radio Amateur's Handbook, by the (US) Amateur Radio Relay League. It's
stuffed full of practical knowledge that they'll never teach you in
school, and it's written for folks who never took engineering classes.
For all that it's still practically useful: every time I've been in the
cube of a 'real' RF engineer I've seen one lurking around somewhere.

I'll second that suggestion ! Mine is over 20 years old and is still
relevant today.

Not meaning to be pedantic or anything, but it helps to know that the name
is "The ARRL Handbook For Radio Amateurs" when you want to look for it in
the library. Like most Hams, I also usually refer to the book as the
"Radio Amateurs Handbook" or the "ARRL Handbook".

Go to books.google.com and do a book search with "electronics". Not
all of the books' content will be there, but typically you get a good
chunk... for free.

Good luck!

Are these typically available outside of the US? Just a guess, but my

Click to expand...
so when you tuned in likely defines what you call it.

The first one I ever bought was in 1971, and it had a cover price of 4.50,
which as a kid didn't even seem to bad.

The last one I bought, 2001, was up to at least fifty dollars Canadian,
which seemed a tad much.

The trick is to find a used copy. Since a new edition comes out every
year, yet the contents change glacially (the major change from year to
year would be the construction projects, and even then one year is close
the previous year or two, and the theory changes far slower), a recent
edition bought used would have much of the same content without the price.

For that matter, resistors, caps & coils haven't changed much. The basic
theory in my '44 edition is the same as the basic theory in my '08
edition, although there's a bit more about digital logic in the '08
edition.

The basic theory in the '33 edition (I collect them, I'm not _that_ old)
is a trifle light, but then that edition is only about 100 pages compared
to the most recent ones which are pushing 1000, and in a larger format.

I _think_ they're around outside the US, although no doubt they're harder
to find, and I have absolutely no idea what exchange rates would do to
you. I understand that the Radio Society of Great Britain also has a
nice manual, although I also understand it's different (if one is truly
committed one is supposed to get one of each).

Reading is great, But I find that I really learn something when I
have to figure out why the circuit is not working... Try building some

Hi!
I am in last year of high and want to study for Telecommunications
Engeenering in university.
What books or tutorials would you recommend me to read to learn the
basics of electronic and telecom engeneering like circuits/logic, dsp,
etc, but to be understood by someone with highschool knowledge of math
and physics????
Thanks in advance!

Radio Amateur's Handbook, by the (US) Amateur Radio Relay League.  It's
stuffed full of practical knowledge that they'll never teach you in
school, and it's written for folks who never took engineering classes.
For all that it's still practically useful: every time I've been in the
cube of a 'real' RF engineer I've seen one lurking around somewhere.

Not meaning to be pedantic or anything, but it helps to know that the name
is "The ARRL Handbook For Radio Amateurs" when you want to look for it in
the library.  Like most Hams, I also usually refer to the book as the
"Radio Amateurs Handbook" or the "ARRL Handbook".

Yes you're right! I'm from Albania and I'm a he (just for your info).
But that's ok because I downloaded all the books they mentioned in PDF
format so I don't have to go to library.- Hide quoted text -

Reading is great,  But I find that I really learn something when I
have to figure out why the circuit is not working... Try building some
things also.

Thanks George for the advice. I surely will try because I think it's
somehow difficult to find circuit components here.
But in the meantime I'll read and improvise something.

I use to pull components out of old electronics. (radios and TV's)
Once at the University see if you can do some volunteer work for a
Professor that you like. You then may be able to get chip makers to
send you free samples. (Using the professor's address at the
school.) At least that use to work years ago in the United States.

Geroge, the bad thing about Albania is that it has no electronics shop
and there's not a single chip maker. If you want a component, you have
to look hard in audio equipment/TV's repair shops and it has a 1 in
million chance that you'll find specifically what you want. I'm going
to the American University in Bulgaria to study for Telecom
Engeenering so I think there's gonna be a decent supply of these
components in their laboratories, but I dont' want to go there in
total ignorance, knowing nothing about circuits, so I wanted to do
some preparatory practice.
Anyway, in any case I'm gonna improvise something.

You received several excellent suggestions for books. Many others are
free (to some extent) for reading, though they may skip pages leaving
gaps. Nonetheless, valuable and fun information can be had. Use your
imagination. Good luck with your future.

For example, check this one, which has much of what you need and want:
