Synthesis of Robust UHF RFID Antennas on
Dielectric Substrates
Ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag antennas need to be inexpensive, efficient, and robust for the installation environment (immune to change in its electrical behavior due to its proximity to the
mounting platform). Designing and optimizing such antennas by hand is a
time-consuming and difficult process, and electromagnetic (EM) tools generally offer limited ability to explore the design space beyond modest tweaking
of the antenna's geometry through parameterization.
The 5 Biggest Myths Around Base Station Antennas

Base station antennas are like closed boxes that we rarely get a
chance to look inside. They can't be opened without getting damaged, and their size and weight makes them difficult to display inside offices. Despite significant technological advancements on the inside of the
box, we still see only the same shaped box from the outside. This could
be one of the reasons behind many misperceptions surrounding their function, which have turned into myths over time. Let's explore some of the
most common myths related to these mysterious boxes, revealing a few of
the industry's best-kept secrets.

New Loop and Adcock Array Technology for
Improved Radio Direction Finding Performance
The incessant efforts to reduce the size of antennas while sacrificing little or
no performance, often driven by the particular requirements for tactical applications, resulted in the development of a new antenna technology which
finds application in radio Direction Finding (DF). A topology for a stabilised
anti-phase dual-fed loop antenna is presented that reduces sensitivity to
cross-polarised wave incidence, increases gain at higher frequencies and
provides improved pattern stability when compared to traditional crossedloop antenna designs.
