We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Antenna design",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release GPS receivers simplify the design process from
Fastrax, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Fastrax UC322 features an innovative embedded antenna design that does not necessitate a separate large antenna ground plane".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Mobile receiver has terrestrial standards covered from
Telegent Systems: "Receiver chip delivers global support for NTSC, Pal and Secam TV broadcasts, expanding the market for mobile TV".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Fractus
concerning its FracFM
- take a look at FM antenna shrinks consumer device design
which says: "The compact FracFM antenna covers the entire FM frequency range (78-108MHz) with no need for extra components".
Take a look also at the news release from Flomerics, Novel approach cuts EM models down to size,
as well as Antenna eases handset TV integration from Fractus,
and Antenna provides reliable performance from Laird Technologies.
