Researchers report that lab tests of a new metasurface-based antenna that can harvest 100 microwatts of power, enough to power simple devices, from low power radio waves. This represents an important ...

The humble radio antenna has become more of a design feature in recent years, but sometimes the shape is dictated by function ...

That cool-looking "shark fin" on the roof of your car is an important piece of technology.

Physicists have used a small glass bulb containing an atomic vapor to demonstrate a new form of antenna for radio waves. The bulb was 'wired up' with laser beams and could therefore be placed far from ...

Maximum transmission efficiency occurs when the load impedance matches the generator impedance. Engineers do this to eliminate standing waves, which can severely damage equipment. Transmission lines ...

When temps start to rise, and everyone wants to have fun in the sun, owning a boat can be a great way to cool off and enjoy an adventure with family and friends. You can get a great deal, especially ...

Ahead of Mobile World Congress 2025 in Barcelona, Ericsson is introducing new radios, antennas and open fronthaul solutions called RAN Connect designed to empower communications service providers ...

Designing the circuit for this antenna to be telescopic makes it collapsible where it can be extended to its full length or retracted to a small length for storage portability. It may consist of a ...

Back to our radio signal. The electrons in our wire are moving, but not in one direction. These electrons are moving back and forth. Actually, the wave displayed in the activity is a representation of ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a new metasurface-based antenna that represents an important step toward making it practical to harvest energy from radio waves, such as the ones used in ...
