Here is a list of recommended books related to radio broadcasting and electronics in general
The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications is your complete guide to wireless technology experimentation, practice, and development. Since 1926, the Handbook has captured the state of radio science and technology in one authoritative work. Use its more than 1,200 pages of amateur radio know-how to delve into radio electronics, circuit design, digital modulation techniques, and equipment construction.
The 101st edition of The ARRL Handbook introduces a new editor, Gregory D. Lapin, PhD, PE, N9GL. Lapin and a team of subject matter experts have revised entire chapters on radio fundamentals, transmission lines, general safety, assembling a station, and more.
Major Updates:
- Information on electromagnetic analysis and inexpensive tools for modeling circuits, antennas, and propagation.
- New material on higher-level modeling of transmitters and receivers.
- A new section on preparing your station for emergency operations.
- Radio astronomy receiver and antenna design information.
- A new section on batteries and battery safety.
- A new section on NEC4 and the antenna modeling software built on it.
- New material on SWR meters and related tests.
- The latest on RF safety and compliance with FCC exposure regulations.

The Art Of Electronics
Another hot item you should definitely have on your book shelf together with ARRL handbook. ‘The best self-teaching book and reference book in electronics … The beauty and fun of electronics shows through.’ Covers all fields, including radio Communication.
‘Full of clever circuits and sharp insights, but with a surprising minimum of mathematics … The depth is genuine, as is the richness of examples, data and apt tricks.’
‘Far and away the finest book on the subject of electronics … in the last decade. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone whose research or experiments require some electronics.’ Optical Engineering
Review
“Far and away the finest book on the subject of electronics…in the last decade.” Optical Engineering
“A delightful book…The circuits actually work, the schematics are all readable.” Review of Scientific Instruments
“This book is filled with a tremendous diversity of valuable information. More importantly, this book is a joy to read…It’s not at all like studying–it’s too much fun.” EDN (News Edition)
“This book provides a painless way to learn about electronic design. It is also a good read for those already experienced in electronics.” EDN (Magazine Edition)
“..it comes as close as any book we’ve seen to fulfilling the promise inherent in its title…written as though to educate the novice, but practicing engineers will encounter many useful tidbits they didn’t know, hadn’t thought about, or had long forgotten.” Analog Dialogue
“…a refreshingly simple, practical and comprehensive textbook on the subject of electronic circuit behavior and design…one of the few contemporary practical reference handbooks on electronic design basics.” Physics in Canada
“A lovely book, it covers a wealth of electronic topics in a very readable style.” Richard Morin, Sunexpert
“The second volume carries on une grande tradition as well as adding 400 new pages to the original (already massive) text. It is, without doubt, the book for the practical engineer. No cerebral theorizing here, no long sections of abstruse mathematical derivations; just page after page of solid empirical engineering. It is also light hearted and anecdotal, with some wonderful pages of bad ciruit ‘howlers’ that the authors have encountered.” John V. Hatfield, IJEEE
“…an excellent general electronic textbook.” Poptronics
RF Circuit Design: Theory and Applications
Practical Rf Power Design Techniques
Complete RF Technician’s Handbook
Build Your Own Low-Power Transmitters: Projects for the Electronics Experimenter
Pirate Radio and Video: Experimental Transmitter Projects (Electronic Circuit Investigator Series)
