Articles on Antennas

This Article by Cory Edelman and Murthy Upmaka describes the design challenges involved in RFID design and also focuses on the use of integrated EDA tools to optimally address the challenges.

This Article discusses antenna polarization parameters and gives some examples of antennas and their associated polarization characteristics.

This paper discusses the theory and design of micro-strip patch antennas.

Basic Concepts of Antennas explained in details with Equations and Diagrams.

This article introduces some of the basic concepts of patch antennas. It focuses on explaining the general properties of patch antennas by using the simple rectangular probed patch. It will cover topics including: principles of operation, impedance matching, radiation pattern and related aspects, bandwidth, and efficiency.

The purpose of this application note is to give the reader an understanding of the basic properties of patch antennas in relation to GPS reception and help in defining the right patch antenna for his or her application.

Application Note goes over Antenna Fundamentals and the various types of Antennas.

This Application Note describes how HF Antennas (13.56 MHz) can be designed for RFID Applications.

This application report discusses antenna fundamentals and the various types of antennas used for short range devices. Fundamentals are presented along with practical design principals.

Gain is an antenna property dealing with an antenna's ability to direct its radiated power in a directed direction, or synonymously, to receive energy preferentially from a desired direction. However, gain is not a quantity which can be defined in terms of physical quantities such as the Watt, ohm or joule, but is a dimensionless ratio. As a consequence, antenna gain results from the int...
