    Component Q factor misunderstanding

    Thanks for your reply! It sounds as if you are talking about vectors or trigonometry, but I am not sure... Is there a diagram to explain a bit further? Also, the formulas do not have anything to do with a series/parallel conversion?

    Component Q factor misunderstanding

    Hi everyone, I am studying Quality factor for a reactive component, and the definition says it is the ratio of reactance to resistance of a capacitor or inductor. However I am confused about the formulas: where the subscript s = series, and subscript p = parallel. My question is, if...

    Skin Effect and Skin Depth Difference

    Hi everyone, I am having trouble understanding the difference between skin effect and skin depth. I know what they are; that: Skin effect is when there is more current flow nearer to the conductor surface as frequency increases, rather than utilizing the whole cross sectional conductor area...

    Inset Feed Calculation Patch Antenna

    I would like to calculate the inset feed dimensions for my patch antenna, Peak Impedance (impedance at edge) is 155.9072 +50.9807j. I rearrange the formula: with 50 ohms being the one you want, Zin(R). My question is, in the calculation, for the other impedance value Zin(0), should I use...

    Patch Antenna Altium

    I want to do this on altium: where the orange parts are patch antenna (solid copper region)

    hfss radiation boundary clarification

    I have some questions about radiation boundary I want to clarify, 1) How long should the radiation boundary extend? I have heard it should be 1/4 of wavelength. If so, which is the correct way to implement? 1/4 wavelength height and start at position 0 (bottom, ground plane) This makes my...

    DC blocking capacitor

    Why will 100pF not affect impedance? Could you please explain a bit more?

    Untheoretical Frequency Change

    Oh, ok... I changed the design to this so that the extension is distributed. The transmission line represents a switch (pin diode) to turn the patch extension on. But the frequency is still increased instead of decreasing?

    Untheoretical Frequency Change

    Ah ok. Thank you for your helpful replies! :) I have checked online about dual band patch antenna and found one similar to what I want to do: https://slidegur.com/doc/335663/reconfigurable-patch-antenna-powerpoint However it does not show what the current path should look like. This is the...

    Altium terminology help

    What is the difference between the options "fill", "solid region" and "polygon pour" in altium? They look quite similar but are they used for different things?

    Patch Antenna Altium

    Hi, I am using altium to design a patch antenna, but I don't know how to draw the patch in altium... Could anyone please advise me the steps how to do this?

    Untheoretical Frequency Change

    Is it because of the way I have tried to connect both patches with a transmission line in between? What is the proper way to extend?

    Untheoretical Frequency Change

    I am trying to make a reconfigurable patch antenna but have trouble with simulation. The first patch should be at 2.4GHz and then the first + second patch should be 2.1GHz. Theoretically the frequency should decrease from 2.4 to 2.1GHz when the second patch turns on (I.e when the length of...

    Patch antenna impedance too small

    No, unfortunately it didn't.. So what you are saying is that the radiation box is too close to the antenna? Is there any guidelines to how far from the sides it should be?

    Patch antenna impedance too small

    What do mean by absorbing boundaries? Could you please explain further?
