[My Ham Radio Journey] wanted to see if a “common person” (in his words) could build an effective vertical ham radio antenna. If you look at the video below, the answer is apparently yes. He started with a 24-foot fishing rod and a roll of 22 gauge wire. The height of the antenna wire is […]
Ideally, if you are going to transmit, you want a properly-tuned resonant antenna. But, sometimes, it isn’t practical. [Ham Radio Rookie] knew about random wire antennas but didn’t want a wire antenna. So, he took carbon fiber extension poles and Faraday tape and made a “random stick” antenna. You can check it out in the […]
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, and how it can be applied to various industries […]
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: not likely, but it’s important to understand how AI and related technologies are impacting our field. Let’s dive into […]
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, especially for applications that require precise dielectric properties and low-loss performance. Let’s dive into who WavePro […]
