I need to brush up my RF and antenna knowledge, which is always something that I've almost but not quite understood. I've got a few books on the subject (two by Kraus, Electromagnetics and Antennas, and another on RFIC design) but they're often dry academic tomes and it's hard to get a feel for the subject. I'd really like something along the lines of The Art of Electronics for RF. The AofE has a high-frequency chapter but it's a bit too brief (though I ought to go and reread it, it's been a while).
Any recommendations for hands-on books that are relatively easy to read, to give an idea of practicalities as well as theory?
Thanks Theo
