There’s a joke in the world of radio that all you need for a HF antenna is a piece of wet string, but the truth is that rudimentary antennas rarely perform well. Random pieces of wire may pull in some ...

Ken Beckwith is a field engineer with EMF based in Nebraska. Being a hands-on engineer, Ken has done his share of construction over the years. One of his projects was the construction of an ...

Phased array antenna systems are at the cusp of ubiquity. We now see Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna systems on WiFi routers. Soon phased array weather radar systems will help to predict ...

Last month I wrote some about making a notch filter for the AM band. However, before you have any signals to notch out, you must first, of course, have some signal to begin with. Let’s talk a little ...

The fully integrated phased array antennas include 64 active elements and frequency conversion. Their specified frequency range is 17.7GHz – 20.2GHz for the receiving antenna and 27.5GHz – 30GHz for ...
