Engineers might design a fabulous new wireless device only to fall into the trap of poor antenna design or placement. I've heard stories about designers who place GPS-receiver antennas in metal boxes, ...

An antenna is an electrical component that is needed to transmit and receive electromagnetic energy from the space surrounding it in order to establish a wireless connection between two or more ...

No audio available for this content. More satellites, more constellations, more multi-frequency receivers — they all drive greater achievable accuracy. But they also raise the requirements on GNSS ...

When [Jephthai] wanted to build his own Yagi antenna, he turned to MMANA software for antenna modeling. This is an antenna analysis program that uses the moment method to calculate parameters for ...

StarLab is a near-field multi-sample system with spherical geometry. Antenna radiation patterns in the far field are obtained indirectly by sampling the field near the antenna. The sampled near field ...

Researchers continue to develop new antenna measurement methods, this time for future 5G wireless communications systems. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) ...

GPS IS VIRTUALLY UBIQUITOUS with more than 400 million units estimated to be in use in the United States alone. Some of these units are standalone devices such as those used in surveying and timing ...

A method of measuring wind velocities by a dual beam modification to conventional (non-Doppler) radars is described. The two beams are disposed slightly to either side of the antenna bore-sight axis.
