Most radio engineers today will recall uncomfortable evenings and cold nights spent in dog houses making antenna impedance measurements, or worse, still trying to balance a laboratory model GR bridge ...
Baluns enable impedance matching, minimize signal distortion, and suppress common-mode noise in RF and high-frequency designs ...
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 principals. It is excerpted ...
