Hi Alex, my two cents:

I can't not put this one first: Best Audio - on the topic of RF Coordination, and then more. This is Pete Erskine (moderator on this forum) site; terrific source of knowledge, links and RF scans repository. RF Coordination for Roadies is a must read.

Tait Radio Academy - about 2-way (LMR) radio communications.

Lectrosonics FAQs page, White Paper section and Wireless Microphone Systems book will give you plenty to go about. I wish Lectrosonics would revise this document, but still, it's an oldie, but a goodie!!

Shure webinars and publications: Selection and Operation of Wireless Microphone by Tim Vear and also this one about Antenna Setup.

Anritsu RF Fundaments webinars were quite important for my understanding of deep RF (and physics) concepts.

Radio Electronics - Resources and analysis for electronics engineers.

Maxim Integrated paper on spread spectrum communications.

RF Venue blog on RF issues actualité.

Eager to see this forum follow-up on this topic. Salut,

Diogo

ARRL Antenna Handbook. On every antenna engineer's bookshelf and my personal favorite.

Astron Wireless Technical Library. Lot's of great information on antennas, coax and connectors.

I took a live 2 day seminar offered by SynAudCon http://www.prosoundtraining.comhere in Vegas a couple of years ago. It featured James Stoffo, Karl Winkler, Tim Vear, & Eric Reese. It was nothing short of AMAZING! Not sure when or where the next one will be, but hgave a look at their website for more info.

I have a number of articles on RF on my website http://zimbelaudio.com/wireless-frequency-coordination-articles/#tech
Some of these articles are also on Pete's site, and all of them originally appeared right here on PSW http://www.prosoundweb.com/.

There is another class coming up in Dallas in the 3rd week of September. I think the class is nearly full but can take a few more people.

Here's another resource: our Wireless Guide: this covers the basics and, although a bit out of date, the principals still apply.

Hey Alex - When it comes to RF Coordination, there are some helpful (though somewhat product-focused) resources on Shure's YouTube channel that may be of value.  Specifically, I'd recommend the following:

... and everything in between.

In reference to the "wire" in wireless, I recommend Steve Lampkin's Audio/Video Cable Installers Pocket Guide.

In theory, theory and practice should be the same. In practice, they are not.

Another learning opportunity is coming up this weekend in the form of an online series of classes (live) with the option to also get the recordings and class materials.

Nathan Lively of Sound Design Live is putting this together, and I'm one of several instructors on the roster:

Hey Alex,

'Audiosystemsgroup.com" has some fantastic publications on wireless to get you started. These guys used to have a pretty neat consulting A/V firm and their owner Jim Brown wrote some great stuff!

They go into quite a lot of depth (which it sounds like you want) and can be very informative:

Wireless Mics and the Audio Professional:

Wireless Mics and Digital Television:
