I'm trying to understand how a coax antenna cable works.<BR><BR>My understanding so far is that, at its simplest, an antenna is a piece of wire that is just the right length to resonate at the desired ...

There is a common element to every radio system, be it transmission or reception, and that is the antenna. But even though it is an essential system component, historically it’s been the least ...

We don’t normally embrace the supernatural here at Hackaday, but when the topic turns to the radio frequency world, Arthur C. Clarke’s maxim about sufficiently advanced technology being akin to magic ...

The Mohu Basic 50 is a thin, flat antenna for window or wall mounting that is suited to areas close to TV towers with strong or very strong signals. The Mohu Basic 50 is a small, flexible indoor TV ...

Like a lot of people, [Bruce] likes radio controlled (RC) vehicles. In fact, many people get started in electronics motivated by their interest in RC. Maybe that’s why [Bruce] did a video about ...

When I write about antennas, readers respond with questions on specific antennas or ask how the antennas I’ve described work (I still get email messages asking about the Gray-Hoverman and UHF rhombic ...

The subject of antennas is often relegated to a mere footnote in many enterprise wireless networking discussions. Yet it is the antenna – the conductor that converts electrical signals to radio waves ...

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 principles. 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 ...
