The humble radio antenna has become more of a design feature in recent years, but sometimes the shape is dictated by function ...

Antennas can range from a few squiggles on a PCB to a gigantic Yagi on a tower. The basic laws of physics must be obeyed, though, and whatever form the antenna takes it all boils down to a conductor ...

Antennas are sensitive to their surroundings. Thus, when there’s an antenna on the PCB, the layout for the design should take the requirements of the antenna into account, as this can make a huge ...

Five questions for Harald Naumann of Tekmodul on his tutorial »Embedded Antenna Design – Make or Buy« at the 15th Wireless Congress 2018 on November 15th in Munich. Harald Naumann will again introduce ...

This 4-part report discusses antenna fundamentals and the various types of antennas used for short range devices. Fundamentals are presented along with practical design principals. It is excerpted ...

The shape of an antenna’s front end dictates many of its operating parameters. Once it’s manufactured, those characteristics are locked in. A shape-changing antenna would enable communications across ...
