I have an (IoT) dream – Tesla in front of Burger King
IoT sandwich – GPS chip loop antenna on German bacon – 1
Today we tell you the ingredients you will need in order to reproduce the world’s first IoT sandwich. The sandwich is planned as a starter. We will show you how to make the main course and the dessert later. Ingredients for the IoT sandwich For the PCBs 9 different PCB shapes (3 different cut-out zones […]
GPS antenna selection for a GSM / GPS tracker
Radiation Patterns and Total Radiated Power (TRP) tested yourself
For a few bucks you can get such a Radiation Measurement System (RMS) to measure Radiation Patterns and Total Radiated Power (TRP) from a 3-axis rotation of your wireless IoT / M2M application. While Radiation Patterns and Total Radiated Power (TRP) is usually measured in an anechoic chamber to avoid reflections to affect the measurement, […]

A magician reveals the secrets of magic tricks
As many already know, I am interested in antennas. My great interest is integrated antennas. Such antennas can be found in gateways for electricity meters, but also in portable point of sale systems. Even permanently installed telematics devices use integrated antennas. For many developers integrated antenna designs require a magician’s skills. Do you mind if […]
