Ultimate Test Equipment Blue Book

TestMart, a sales, marketing and service provider for the test and measurement industry, offers the TestMart Price Guide™, a free online guide that is the first comprehensive and consolidated pricing manual for thousands of models, based on conditions including manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP), used and certified pre-owned test equipment.

“Test equipment, unlike other high tech equipment, may have a useful life that lasts decades, yet there is no unbiased standard for pricing based on its current condition,” said Peter Ostrow, TestMart president and CEO.

The TestMart Price Guide is compiled from aggregated historical data through the use of a proprietary algorithmic analysis tool. The data provides a range of pricing for MSRP, TestMart certified pre-owned equipment and third party used equipment where the condition is not known or proven.

The price guide is available at www.testmart.com.

RF Engineering for Wireless Networks

Written by Danniel Dobkin, Ph.D., manager, technical marketing, WJ Communications, California, this comprehensive, single-volume reference to RF engineering principles covers all common wireless networks, including WiFi, WiMax and Bluetooth.

It begins with the basics of electromagnetic theory (including necessary mathematics), and moves authoritatively through signal propagation and different modulation methods. Extensive coverage is given to the principles and design of wireless hardware such as receivers, transmitters, transceivers and antennas. The essential concepts of wireless networks are described, along with their planning and implementation for both indoor and outdoor applications. Seven appendices contain such information as international technical and regulatory standards for wireless networks and test and measurement tools for wireless networks.

Over 300 illustrations help readers to visualize implementation strategies and coverage areas. The accompanying CD includes useful software tools such as a link budget calculator, a Smith Chart calculator and plotter, and radio chain analysis utilities.

This book is due out in a couple of weeks. For more information, visit www.books.elsevier.com.
