Shownotes

Welcome Katerina Galitskaya!

  • Chris started following Katerina’s antenna posts on LinkedIn
  • Monopole vs dipole
  • Lower frequences are harder bc longer wavelength
  • PCB size half of frequency
  • Place antenta on the shorter side
  • How to ruin your PCB
  • When to go to a antenna engineer?
  • Where will the device be?
  • Antenna environment
  • Start from vacuum, start adding elements
  • Dummies in the lab. The one in the episode photo is a dummy head filled with liquid (?!)
  • SAR – Specific Absorption rate
  • Simulation vs lab work (dimensions)
  • Anechoic chamber
  • When to go with custom antenna?
  • Buying off the shelf antenna?
  • New Airpods with fancy 3D antenna
  • Ben’s video about laser sintered antennas
  • MIMO / Beamforming
  • the failed promises of 5G
  • When to simulate
  • Some open source programs out there (“EMSee”?)
  • Simulating vs visualizing
  • Most of the time it’s not about vizualizing fields
  • What is the iteration elements of the antenna?
  • Satellite antenna design
  • Good to go external
  • Thinking about the dielectric const of case
