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 ...

In many short range applications, the overall size of transmitter or receiver modules is small compared to the wavelength. The ground plane is therefore usually part of the antenna and radiates or ...

Measuring the performance of antennas in absolute terms that can involve a lot of expensive equipment and specialized facilities. For practical applications, especially when building antennas, ...
