AM reception can be very difficult because of the inherent succeptibility AM has to electrical noise and other sources of interference. The built-in antenna in most receivers – a coil and a ferrite ...

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 ...

Magnetic loop antennas are great if you are limited on space since they are just a potentially small loop of wire. The problem is, they are sharply tuned. You normally have an adjustment capacitor to ...

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.

The author is vice president of business development for Orban Labs Inc. Over the last 20 years or so, I have put in several FM master antenna systems in various broadcast facilities, to drive ...

THE ANTENNA. This crucial component of any radio transmitting or receiving system has a history that actually predates the invention of radio itself. The first antennas were used by Princeton ...
