This book was written as a guide to all the practical electronic tests and measurement procedures encountered in professional practice by working electronics technicians using basic test equipment (meters, oscilloscopes, and signal generators).

Lenk covers component tests in detail: antennas, capacitors, coils, diodes, resistors, transformers, transistors, and the like.

He discusses measurement techniques for impedance, inductance, frequency response, circuit Q, distortion, standing wave ratio and more.

Lenk describes both field and laboratory tests. Field tests are quick tests using the simplest equipment. Laboratory tests employ more sophisticated test equipment.
