If
you're like most hams, radio-frequency interference has caused you headaches
on more than one occasion during your ham career. Odds are, you're not
anxious to repeat these RFI experiences! Despite our best efforts to
lay RFI to rest over the past nine decades or so, it remains very much
with us.
Part of the reason is that there are as many kinds of RFI as there are
kinds of electronic devices. Add to that the variety of environments
in which these devices can be installed, and you've got a thorny problem.
Just when it looks like one type of interference problem has been licked,
a new electronic device that is susceptible to RF energy enters the
marketplace.
The best defense in this ongoing battle? Quite simply, drawing on the
experiences of RFI experts who know the best way to tackle RFI problems.
That's where The ARRL RFI Book comes in. The successor to the
popular Radio Frequency Interference: How to Find It and Fix It, this
book is your authoritative source for practical RFI solutions. We have
asked experts in the various types of RFI to provide insights and solutions
to the types of problems they know best. These experts, both amateur
and professional, provide their expertise clearly and concisely.
Our thanks to these authors, as well as the hundreds of other hams who
have unselfishly shared their RFI solutions with the ham community over
the years. Our goal is to remove RFI as a problem for hams. Although
we may never fully reach this goal, this book is a major step in that
direction. You can help, too. Have an RFI tip that's worked for you
and that doesn't appear in the book? Let us know about it. There's a
handy Feedback Form at the back, or you can send an e-mail message to
pubsfdbk@arrl.org.
