The ARRL (American Radio Relay League) publishes a variety of books on RF
design.

The ARRL Handbook for Radio Amateurs is published yearly with minor changes
from edition to edition to keep pace with the times. It focuses on items of
interest to radio amateurs including theory, practical circuits and
construction articles. Unfortunately, it's a massive volume and sometimes
gets to be dry reading.  However, at less than $30 a copy, it is probably a
worthwhile investment for any electronics experimenter.

Also in the ARRL are a variety of other books on radio and antenna design
including several book/software packages.

See your local amateur radio supplier or check out the ARRL's web page at
http://www.arrl.org/catalog/index.html

My vote is still for "The Art of Electronics" as the best all round book on
electronics.
