Texas Instruments’ Antenna-On-Package mmWave Sensor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/texas-instruments-antenna-on-package-mmwave-sensor/
Radar sensors are not exactly a new thing, but, like every other technology, there is always progress to be made, something that could be improved in order to take the technology to the next level. One of its younger cousins, the mmWave technology, which you may have not heard of until this point, is a […]
Designing with an inverted-F 2.4 GHz PCB antenna
https://www.electronics-lab.com/designing-with-an-inverted-f-2-4-ghz-pcb-antenna/
PCB design guide for an inverted-F 2.4 GHz antenna from Silicon Labs. One of the main reasons to use a PCB antenna is to reduce cost. Since the antennas are printed directly on the board, they are generally considered to be free. On boards with room to spare, this will be true. On boards that […]
Multiband IoT Antenna supports LTE, GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi
https://www.electronics-lab.com/multiband-iot-antenna-supports-lte-gps-bluetooth-and-wifi/
Johanson Technology’s single antenna matching solution covers all relative frequency bands Multiple frequency, protocol, and functionality solutions for IoT connectivity continue to push size and performance limits. To address this, Johanson Technology developed a multiband flexible solution using one antenna. This solution covers cellular (LTE), sub-GHz (868/915 MHz), GPS and/or GNSS (GLONASS), 2.4 GHz (Bluetooth® and/or […]
nanoSplatch™ nSP250 Embedded WiFi/WLAN Antenna
https://www.electronics-lab.com/nanosplatch-nsp250-embedded-wifi-wlan-antenna/
The nanoSplatch™ nSP250 is a surface-mount antenna for embedded WiFi/WLAN and other 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz ISM or U-NII frequency band applications. It uses a grounded-line technique to achieve outstanding performance in a tiny surface-mount package. The nSP250 exhibits low proximity effect with a very hemispherical radiation pattern, making it ideal for handheld devices […]
60GHz RF antenna module uses optimised antenna beamforming
https://www.electronics-lab.com/60ghz-rf-antenna-module-uses-optimised-antenna-beamforming/
Murata has released a high gain antenna module that facilitates communication up to 4.62 Gbps. The new millimeter-wave RF antenna module will contribute to the creation of next generation wireless networks that utilise the 60 GHz frequency by supporting the IEEE802.11ad millimeter-wave wireless LAN standard. The need is growing for faster internet communications in line […]
Femtosecond Electronics With Plasmonic Hot Electron Nano-emitters
https://www.electronics-lab.com/femtosecond-electronics-with-plasmonic-hot-electron-nano-emitters/
A team led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) physicists Alexander Holleitner and Reinhard Kienberger has found success for the first time in generating ultrashort electric pulses on a chip. They made this possible by using asymmetric metal antennas only a few nanometers in dimension, then running the signals a few millimeters above the […]
3D Printed Objects that can connect to Wi-Fi without any Electronics
https://www.electronics-lab.com/3d-printed-objects-can-connect-wi-fi-without-electronics/
The world has seen an exponential growth of the Internet of things, where things are becoming connected. Every physical object is giving the chance to be connected to the internet and emit some data about itself with just the addition of some chips, and some form of wireless interface. Your Electric kettle can basically tell […]
Low-profile antennas can be mounted on metal surfaces
https://www.electronics-lab.com/low-profile-antennas-can-mounted-metal-surfaces/
Julien Happich @ eedesignnewseurope.com discuss about a new low-profile 2.4GHz antenna that can be mounted on metal surfaces: Antenova is shipping its first 2.4GHz antenna from its new Reflector series. The Zenon has been engineered to operate without de-tuning on metal surfaces or where the product housing is mainly metal. The Reflector antennas are formed […]
10km ESP32 WiFi Using Directional Antenna
https://www.electronics-lab.com/10km-esp32-wifi-using-directional-antenna/
[Jeija] was playing with some ESP32s and in true hacker fashion, he wondered how far he could pull them apart and still get data flowing. His video answer to that question covers the Friis equation and has a lot of good examples of using the equation, decibels, and even a practical example that covers about […]
PureModules, IoT Building Blocks
https://www.electronics-lab.com/puremodules-iot-building-blocks/
New range of building blocks for IoT development are just out there! Just like LEGO, PUREmodules by Pure Engineering are the building blocks for IoT connected smart sensors where there is no need to solder, using breadboard or wires. It’s all done just by snapping the modules together and writing some lines of code. The […]
