Antenna design is constantly evolving, and one of the most exciting developments in recent years is the use of 3D printing. As part of a three-part series, I’m diving into the world of 3D printed antennas, exploring why this technology is making waves in the field,...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is dominating headlines and sparking discussions across industries, including antenna design and engineering. As an antenna engineer, I frequently encounter questions about whether AI will eventually replace our roles. The short answer is:...
When it comes to antenna design, the materials you choose can make all the difference. WavePro, a leader in providing customizable PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) solutions, is changing the game for antenna designers like me. I’m excited about what WavePro offers,...
In mining and tunnel environments, the complexities of radio signal propagation present unique challenges. One critical factor that plays a significant role in improving signal quality in such environments is circular polarization. But what exactly is circular...
In the defence industry, reliable RF components are vital for ensuring continuous, secure communication. These precision-engineered components are designed to perform under harsh environmental conditions while maintaining peak efficiency. Moreover, they play a...
Understanding Wi-Fi and Antenna Technology Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that utilizes radio frequency (RF) waves in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to enable ultra-fast communication between devices like PCs, smartphones, and printers. It allows devices to...
In the realm of electronic warfare, public safety, and commercial applications, the design of antennas plays a pivotal role in elevating operational efficiency and safety. The significance of antenna design extends far beyond mere functionality; it is about unlocking...
Why do I prefer an LPDA for mountains? We have flat panel antennas, you have LPDAs, and you have Yagi antennas. Those are the main ones that I can think of. I mostly prefer LPDA. The reason for that is the LPDA has a consistent gain across...
In this video we discuss the background and illustrate how you can convert your stock Helium Antenna to an awesome 9dBi Helium Yagi Antenna for testing and experiments for free and earn more crypto in doing so. All you need...
The new Poynting MIMO-3 series antennas - we have been getting a lot of questions about what are the differences between them. We give a short overview of the features of these 4G aerials to make it easier for you to choose which...
In reflecting on 2021 and the crazy start to the 2020's we felt it was an opportunity to reflect a bit. The topics covered are nothing new, and the same conversation can probably be held over-and-over again. Although the way it's presented...
How to choose an antenna for my Helium Miner? The main thing is to avoid bad quality antennas and cables.
We keep talking about the 4G directional antenna, and have demonstrated the great performance one can expect from this antenna. In this video we run through the contents of this great antenna, and highlight the...
This is the next video in a series looking at how you can improve your 4G connection using external antennas. In this video, David attempts to improve his 4G internet connection using the Poynting 4G LPDA antenna. Watch the...
In this video we demonstrate the test setup used to generate antenna radiation patterns. The anechoic (i.e. no reflection) chamber eliminates reflections from the outside world, and you can clearly see how this antenna...
