I think that RF is too wide to be covered by any one book. I think that 
putting in a few hundreds of hours in the lab actually doing things is 
necessary before one can start to understand the connection between the 
heavy math in the books and reality, and one does not replace the other. 
I knew EEs who came out of school, could not tell Neptune's trident from 
a phased whip array, and worse. I don't think that there is any one 
introductory book that would cover the domain. And RF simulators are 
notorious for producing results that are totally different from what can 
be realised practically.
