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 ...

Baluns enable impedance matching, minimize signal distortion, and suppress common-mode noise in RF and high-frequency designs ...

Passive UHF RFID (Ultra High Frequency Radio Frequency IDentification) tag consists of a microchip attached directly to an antenna. Proper impedance match between the antenna and the chip is crucial ...

The purpose of this article is to explain, in detail, the process involved in building and tuning a high-frequency (HF) RFID antenna, which would operate at 13.56 MHz. Some concepts will be explained ...

If you catch a grizzled old radio amateur propping up the bar in the small hours, you will probably receive the gravelly-voiced Wisdom of the Ancients on impedance matching, antenna tuners, and LC ...

STMicroelectronics has extended its range of single-chip antenna-matching ICs that simplify RF-circuit design with two new devices optimised for BlueNRG-LPS system-on-chip ICs (SoCs) and STM32WB1x and ...

Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) announced today the availability of the highly integrated AM/FM antenna amplifier IC ATR4251, which enables outstanding AM/FM car-radio reception when used with ...

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 ...

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 ...
