The TechXchange: Antenna Design is a collection of material that gets down to the nuts and bolts of antennas. No RF-centric system can be better than the weakest link in the chain, and if that link happens to be the antenna at the front of the chain (as in a receiver) or at the back (as in a transmitter), it might not matter how well designed the rest of the system is.
...it seems to me that the antenna is the stepchild of any wireless system. It gets less attention and may even be an afterthought in some projects. But as you may have noticed, the antenna is becoming more important than ever in new wireless systems. It’s time to pay more attention and give more respect to what may really be the most complex piece of any new wireless system.
