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 ...

The field of filtering antennas integrates antenna design with filtering circuits, thereby achieving simultaneous radiation and frequency selectivity. These systems are engineered to transmit or ...

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 ...

When it comes to actual antennas in the real world, much of our knowledge is empirical. We know very broadly theories that explain how a point charge radiates (Maxwell’s equations), the need for ...

In this article, I will cover various aspects of millimeter wave (mmW) beamforming and antenna technology with what I consider interesting and unique technical design examples. Beamforming networks ...

Isolation refers to keeping multiple antennas separate from one another to avoid interaction effects. In some devices—especially cell phones, where multiple antennas must be squeezed into a small ...

Antenna design is often referred to as a black art or witchcraft, even by those experienced in the space. To that end, [Janne] wondered—could years of honed skill be replaced by bruteforcing the ...

Taoglas, the antenna and IoT component specialist, has brought out AntennaXpert, a suite of digital tools to streamline, simplify, and customise antenna design and integration. Available on the ...

As 5G networking inches closer to reality, one of the more stubborn problems also will be one of the smallest. Several issues have yet to be cracked with beamforming and massive MIMO antennas, which ...

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 ...
