    BMW cars !!!!!! its Antenna ??????????

    ahmed osama, Isn't the the antenna you're refering to the external 900/1800 MHz GSM antenna used by car kits (hands free)? For those frequencies, it is not particularly short. Typically, I think the FM radio antenna is integrated in the rear window (combined with de-frost functionality)...

    somebody plz give some suggestions!!!!

    abhi_kolkata, I have to disagree with costox. Without going into much details, I would suggest either IE3D (if the dielectrics are not too complicated) or CST microwave studio. CST is a time-domain solver, so you will get the entire bandwidth from one simulation run. On the other hand, CST...

    Matching VCO followed by an amplifier stage

    Re: Matching .... ? I guess that if you use a discrete VCO component, it should have some buffer amplifer (with low S12) already integrated with the VCO to make it (more) insensitive to different load impedances. This buffer should have a 50 Ohm output interface. I've mainly worked with on-chip...

    Coupling question between two amplifier stages

    ahmad_abdulghany, Is your design broad-band or narrow-band? Do you use resistive or inductive collector/drain loading? Is it an LNA or PA or buffer? I guess there is no good general answer to your question "What is the optimum coupling method between two transistor stages at 100MHz?". It will...

    matching an antenna = low return loss = good radiation?

    geppei, Yep, as they are both monopoles with similar shapes, both will have the same radiation properties. In theory the only real difference will be in terms of impedance bandwidth. In practice, you will also get some extra losses in the matching network of antenna B. For this particular case...

    Designing coaxial-fed microstrip antenna in ADS

    agilent ads software + coaxial probe feed Maybe it is possible to include a coaxial connector/cable in the new version of ADS (Momentum), which has extended 3D capability. For older versions I guess it is possible, but it will probably be quite difficult to draw the structure. Anyway, I don't...

    <CST MWS> Radiation efficiency of small antennas

    how to calculate radiation efficiency with cst Hi Pushhead, I guess it could be reasonable if the antenna is thick enough and the metal is sufficiently conductive. Of course, if/when you try to match the antenna to any real impedance (like 50 Ohms), the matching components will introduce a lot...

    Is matching source and amplifier Zin always necessary?

    arebee, If you want maximum voltage swing at the input (or, equivalently, maximum input power) you have to conjugate match the input. If Rin>>Rs, then the maximum voltage swing at the input of the amplifier is Vs. BUT, if you conjugate match the input, the voltage swing will be MUCH HIGHER...

    Is matching source and amplifier Zin always necessary?

    arebee, Conjugate matching the amplifier input will give you the largest voltage swing at the input, and therefore the largest input power. If you have a large input impedance, the maximum voltage swing you will get is equal to the sourve voltage (if the source resistance is low). However, if...
