If a grizzled RF engineer who bears the soldering-iron scars of a thousand projects could offer any advice, it would be that microwave antennas are not a field to be entered into lightly. Much ...

I have always been amazed by how much difference a good antenna makes in a wireless application. It became pretty clear to me at an early age as a ham radio operator that a good antenna is the ...

From early mobile phones to the IoT, wireless and antenna design has contributed to the evolution of comms. Colin Newman reflects on his company’s history, and future prospects. Changes in antenna ...

Fig. 1 | Schematics of the PA-PSO algorithm. (a) and (b) Working principle of the metalens antenna. (c) and (d) Comparison between the traditional PSO and PA-PSO algorithm. The red and blue stars ...

Pressured by significant growth in the smart-phone and tablet markets, multiband and multi-radio products and MIMO technologies are pushing antenna design in new directions. Fig 1. Automatic antenna ...

Placing an antenna in a design always needs care, but when there are two or more antennas in the design, it is even more important to understand how the antennas radiate, how they will perform ...

Evolving communication systems are driving developments in the RF/microwave industry. The large umbrella of 5G focuses on supporting three main technologies: enhanced mobile broadband, which is the ...

We have all seen Printed Circuit Board (PCB) antennas: those squiggly bits of traces on PCBs connected often to a Bluetooth, WiFi or other wireless communication chip. On modules like for the ESP8266 ...

More satellites, more constellations, more multi-frequency receivers — they all drive greater achievable accuracy. But they also raise the requirements on GNSS antennas because of the stronger impact ...
