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 ESP8266 ...

SMD antennas and FPC antennas have different implications for PCB design. Design tips for FPC antennas. This article explores the design and integration implications for flexible-printed-circuit (FPC) ...

Antennas are sensitive to their surroundings. Thus, when there’s an antenna on the PCB, the layout for the design should take the requirements of the antenna into account, as this can make a huge ...

This document describes a PCB antenna design that can be used with 2.4 GHz transceivers and transmitters. Maximum gain is measured to be +3.3 dB and overall size requirements for this antenna are 25.7 ...

A new white paper has been released comparing ceramic chip antennas and pcb trace antennas. The paper discusses the pros and cons of these two popular antenna types. The purpose of a trace antenna on ...

Antenova has created a new software tool to help designers place antennas in a wireless design. The tool displays the optimum position for embedded antennas on the PCB, depending upon the dimensions ...
