In this post we discuss antenna length, how it is important relative to antenna efficiency and how the optimal antenna length is dependent on the wavelength.

Designing an Antenna: The Requirements
In this post we discuss how optimizing one characteristic of an antenna can negatively affect other aspects of an antenna's performance, and how this relates to new designs.
How Parabolic Dishes Work
The parabolic dish is a means by which the gain of an antenna can be significantly increased by intercepting and concentrating RF at a focal point.
Antennas and Efficiency
If an antenna is inefficient, more transmitting power must be supplied to compensate. Making an antenna efficient therefore enhances range and saves power.
Designing Multiband Antennas
Occasionally, we want a device to have only one antenna that can operate in several specific bands, as distinct from an antenna which covers a broad range of frequencies.
Cellphone Antenna Design
In this post, we summarize the basic mobile antenna design challenges and pitfalls, and how they specifically relate to cellphone applications.
Designing Bluetooth Antennas
While the basic principles of antenna design of course apply to Bluetooth, it is important to keep in mind the way in which Bluetooth devices are often used.
Circuit Boards and Antennas
When designing an antenna for a circuit board, it is easy to overlook the importance of the board shape and the location of the components.
VSWR in Antenna Design
VSWR is an important antenna parameter in antenna design that is related to how much of the power sent to the antenna is reflected back to the source.
How Do You Determine What Type of Antenna You Need?
How do you determine what type of antenna you need for an application? Each antenna type has different characteristics suitable for some applications and not for others.
How Antennas are Made
How Antennas are Made: Potential problems to be aware of in the manufacturing process that could impact future performance.
Directivity and Antenna Gain
The more directive the antenna, the more the signal that the antenna radiates is concentrated into a smaller region, resulting in higher antenna gain.
