Allan W. Scott is President of Scott Training Associates in Los Altos, California. He also serves as an instructor and curriculum developer for Besser Associates, the worldwide leader in RF/wireless training. He is the author of Understanding Microwaves, published by Wiley. Rex Frobenius has been with Besser Associates for more than ten years, where he has been actively involved in course development for linear circuit design and test and measurement courses. He is also the author of several online utility software programs that are used to demonstrate fundamental RF principles.

"You cannot design or build anything without testing it. The test equipment manufacturers do a great job of providing equipment, but this book helps explain what the equipment is, how it works, and how to use it. It's a good addition to your wireless library." (Electronic Design, December 10, 2008)
