PCB antenna impaired by copper fill and other attenuation sources. ... It covers a range of examples of poor design, from having ground fill underneath an antenna, ...

Some antennas are ground-plane-dependent, which means that the PCB itself becomes the ground portion of the antenna to operate against in order to balance the antenna currents, and the lower ...

We have all seen Printed Circuit Board (PCB) antennas: those squiggly bits of traces on PCBs connected often to a Bluetooth, WiFi or other wireless communication chip. On modules like for the ESP82… ...

Designing a PCB with more than one antenna is not straightforward. ... The two antennas can share the same ground plane, and they are placed in different spatial zones, this reduces “coupling” – a ...

The antenna’s position in relation to the PCB will depend on the proximity of the ground (Fig. 3). 3. The diagram depicts the three common configurations for the FPC on the host PCB.

Acal Technology is sampling a new surface mount dielectric antenna from Advanced Crystal Technology which it says combines competitive pricing with a choice of compact footprints and the flexibility ...

Figure 3. Microstrip impedance as a function of frequency for different PCB top-layer ground gaps for a thin PCB substrate (60 mils). The effect of the gap between the microstrip line and the top ...
