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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are design challenges for antennas, PCB connectors and components, advise Ifan Yousaf and David Currie, of TE. The environment of smart devices presents design challenges. Electronic devices are ...

SMD antennas and FPC antennas have different implications for PCB design. Design tips for FPC antennas. This article explores the design and integration implications for flexible-printed-circuit (FPC) ...

Ignion, a Barcelona based IoT antenna developer, has released Oxion 2.0, an AI-driven RF and antenna design tool. RF design tool supports complex RF layouts Credit: Ignion Developed to simplify design ...

Antenova has created a new software tool to help designers place antennas in a wireless design. The tool displays the optimum position for embedded antennas on the PCB, depending upon the dimensions ...

From 5G smartphones to IoT sensors, RF antennas are the backbone of modern wireless systems. Selecting, designing, and tuning them precisely ensures reliability, efficiency, and compliance. Here’s how ...

As 5G networks densify and massive MIMO scales, antenna engineers face persistent mutual coupling in compact arrays. Dr K.

Acal Technology is sampling a new surface mount dielectric antenna from Advanced Crystal Technology which it says combines competitive pricing with a choice of compact footprints and the flexibility ...
