App note: Designing with an inverted-F 2.4 GHz PCB antenna
PCB design guide for an inverted-F 2.4 GHz antenna from Silicon Labs. Link here (PDF) One of the main reasons to use a PCB antenna is to reduce cost. Since the antennas are printed directly on the board, they are generally considered to be free. On boards with room to spare, this will be true. […]
App note: PCB trace vs. chip antenna design considerations
Abracon lists the requirement which antenna type best fit to your application. Link here (PDF) The modern urban environment poses a challenge to high-speed designs involving Cellular, GNSS, WiFi/Bluetooth/BLE/ZigBee and LPWA protocols: the reflection, refraction, scattering, diffraction, polarization and absorption of signals necessitates highly efficient RF chains. Of all components in the chain, the antenna […]
Building a DIY 2.4 GHz Helical feed for the QO-100/Es’Hail-2 satellite
In this video Adam 9A4QV demonstrates his 2.4 GHz homemade helical feed for the QO-100/Es’Hail-2 satellite. Via RTL-SDR.
Colinear antenna for 868MHz Lorawan Gateway
Mare writes, “This is description of coaxial collinear antenna for 868MHz applications. I designed this for Lorawan gateway.” Project info at Mare & Gal Electronics homepage.
App note: 868 MHz, 915 MHz and 955 MHz inverted F antenna
868 MHz, 915 MHz and 955 MHz inverted F antenna (PDF) application note from Texas Instruments: This document describes a PCB antenna designed for operation in the 868 MHz, 915 MHz and 955 MHz ISM bands. This antenna can be used with all transceivers and transmitters from Texas Instruments, which operates in these frequency bands. Maximum […]
Magnetic loop antenna controlled by Arduino
This video by Ricardo Caratti demonstrates his method for controlling a Magnetic Loop antenna with an Arduino. The antenna’s tuning capacitor is adjusted using a stepper motor interfaced with the Arduino equipped to read IR commands sent from a compatible IR remote control. This allows the tuning capacitor to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. Due to […]
Testing CMA-77-100 antenna with SYM-RFT-77 DCF77 receiver module
Michail Papadimitriou is in the process of developing a Nixie clock which will synchronize with the DCF77 time signal. These standard time signals are transmitted on 77.5 kHz from Germany, and Michail intends to use a DCF77 Time Receiver Module, like SYM-RFT-77 to demodulate the signal. Basically, this module receives the time standard signal and […]
