Antennas are a tricky thing, most of them have a fairly narrow range of frequencies where they work well. But there are a few designs that can be very broadband, such as the discone antenna. If you ...

With an eye toward building space-qualified radio-frequency (RF) components for Earth observation and science instruments, the European Space Agency (ESA) has 3D printed a satellite antenna designed ...

This application note details the variety of antennas that are used in today’s handheld transmitter applications, such as remote keyless entry (RKE) systems, tire pressure monitors (TPMs), garage door ...

A cutting-edge 3D-printed antenna has been developed to enable stronger, flexible wireless electronics. It tackles the long-standing problem of signal failure in flexible electronics caused by bending ...

Prototype of a chip-scale RF signal processor with 3D-printed antenna arrays for antenna-in-structure or wearable wireless systems. PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State University-led researchers have ...

Fully printed radio frequency (RF) harvesters that operate at HF RFID and ISM frequency of 13.56 MHz are normally comprised of a small printed loop antenna. They work at short ranges using inductive ...

In this application note we will explore antenna theory and design using EZNEC, an easy-to-use antenna simulator. We will measure the antenna’s characteristic impedance through our application board.

Antennas are mandatory for a product to connect via radio frequency. Obvious examples are cell phones, satellite communications, and even our garage-door openers. But the Internet of Things is ...
