I consider analog electronics to be more akin to "dark magic" than anything else...
- hoosieree 9y agoAnalog wizards say that about RF engineers.
- smoyer 9y agoI spent quite a few years as an wide-band RF engineer and I still think it's black magic. If you're not being snobby, you can learn a lot from an experienced bench technician. If you want to get into RF electronics, you need specific features in your spectrum analyzer along with a very good return loss bridge at your target impedance. I'm another fan of Horowitz and Hill's _The Art of Electronics_ - it's my go-to reference after 35 years in the business.
- madengr 9y agoBeen doing RF/Microwave design for 24 years. It’s not black magic, though that’s what led me into it.
- filterfish 9y agoAs a "dark magician" I think that about digital electronics. And it's really not that hard.
