With the low-cost PCB fabrication services available to hackers and makers these days, we’ll admit that making your own boards at home doesn’t hold quite the appeal that it did in the past. But even ...

When we think of assembling a PCB, we’re almost always thinking about solder. Whether in paste form or on the spool, hand-iron or reflow, some molten metal is usually in the cards. [Stephen Hawes] is ...

Abstract: This work investigates exploiting the potential of pixel antennas, which are a reconfigurable antenna technology that can flexibly adjust the antenna characteristics through antenna coding, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to designing reconfigurable antenna using genetic algorithms (GAs) and accurate PIN diode modeling. The method integrates TRL calibration for precise ...
