Antenna Material Solutions Across the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum (Broad Antenna Solutions)

Antenna design continues to advance as system bandwidth and frequencies increase. Many new applications rely on optimized antenna design to meet mission objectives. This webinar will review the broad antenna solutions across the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum, beginning with a basic understanding of RF Antenna PCB concepts, progressing through critical material selection followed with influence from PCB fabrication techniques. Data on the above subject matter will be provided covering Microstrip Patch, Microstrip Series Fed Patch and Simple SIW antenna designs. • Basic overview of RF antenna concepts for PCB’s • Critical material properties that influence antenna performance, utility of different material sets for different frequency ranges • PCB fabrication influences on antenna performance • Overview of a few studies that show supporting data for the previous subjects
