antenna

I have puchaed a wireless Bike Alarm and wanted to figure out how to extend its range. I want to try to extend its reach to 50 meters from the default 20 meters. There is wireless "fob" (KS-WL09C) that I disassembled. The photo is available below. Question: Can someone, please, spot a...

Please see attached figure for a few of the questions. I would love for the solutions to these questions. Also, what are the effects when the width of the microstrip line is increased?

I have a 1.8 Ghz microstrip antenna. I need to turn this into an array microstrip antenna, but I can't. Can you help?

First of all, i want to listen in my house, you can forget a car. It has been in the warehouse for a long time. Yesterday i tried it. Although I haven't connected an antenna yet, it still works. Because of it has 10-12 cm antenna plug cable probably. As it stands, FM is listened almost...

If I hook up a HF ultra-wideband (UWB) amplifier with a transmitting UWB antenna (out) and a receiving UWB antenna (in) and have the antennas very close (few inches) to each other inside a metal box (~40cm) so as to produce a feedback loop, then due to the noise and harmonics of the over-driven...

Hi, Been struggling to find information that I find to be obviously missing on how to interpret antenna radiation patterns. For example have a look in the datasheet for my chip antenna. I can understand the three 2D radiation pattern graphs, one for each plane, what I don't understand is what...

I am planning on using the following radial choke antennas to try and trace an energized wire which travels along a wall. I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to orient this part to get the best signal. Any comments are much appreciated!

Hello everyone, could anyone help me how to find balun (one chip) for AX5243-1-TW30 868 MHz? And in addition could you recommend the most suitable antenna planar or chip? I understand that it depends on many factors but if you have any experience with configuration of AX5243-1-TW30 + balun +...

Hello I have an RN4871 Bluetooth chip and integrated it with my micro. The chip is scanning for nearby BLE devices and reporting them to the host micro via UART. However, I see that the range of this chip is just 10 m. I could buy RN4870 and increase the range to 50m, but that's still not...

Greetings, I'm new to electronics and am interested in the field just as a hobbyist. I've read the Complete electronics self teaching guide by Boysen and Kybett and am now moving to Basic Antennas ARRL and Building your own transistor radios by R. Quan. To be honest im attracted to RF...

This post is "picking the brains of smarter than me" more than anything. It's a simple question, but I can't seem to find a consistent answer to it. I have heard sooo many different suggestions and so many different "right ways" of doing this, that every way I try, gives different results...

I've designed a matching network for a PCB Loop Antenna and I've tried to match it to a source of 465 Ohm impedance with 1pF parasitic capacitance i.e. Source Impedance = (166 -j223) Ohm Ideal Load Impedance = (166 + j223) Ohm. I've used Tapped Capacitor Matching network as suggested in this...

Hello, I'm studying telecommunication electronics at Institut Teccart, a private college (CEGEP) in Montréal-Canada, and I'm trying to figure out which kind of job available on the market I'd enjoy. I'm holding a computer science college diploma but I went into telecom because I wanted...

Hello, the attached is a 4g wifi device however where i live the cell tower signal is very weak, how can i attach external antenna to it for better cell reception and hence better 4g speed

why does 1/4 wavelength have to have a ground plane and 1/2 doesn't? I know that an antenna that has half a wavelength does not need the ground plane (example a dipole antenna) and when using a wavelength of 1/4 it is usually necessary to have the ground plane (planar antennas [PCB]). My...

I bought this antenna for my Sparkfun Simultaneous Reader, but I don't understand which jumper will do what function. The antenna didn't come with datasheet and I can't find it on the Internet. I tried connecting different jumpers and tried to make sense what jumper will do what, but can't...

I am trying to get the value of the h field with a horn antenna as a reference antenna. I used a 90 degrees waveguide twist with the horn antenna in preset to measure le level of the received signal. But I am getting strange values. Am I proceeding the right way to measure the h field? If yes...
